27 Spectrum of the Seas Tips

If you want a quick and quite breakfast, instead of the mayhem in the Windjammer (although the food is great) try the café in the 270 lounge.

I would not recommend this cruise for Westerners.

Think twice about which port you take, it could determine how chaotic your cruise will be and you won't be able to relax. With 5-days of sea and only 3 port days, this seems like one that has a stop each day because every day starts with heavy noise and commotion.

Consider booking a Junior Suite if you can as it will allow you to retreat to the Solarium and Silver (or Gold) areas to avoid the madness around the rest of the ship.

Do not sail on this ship unless you love Chinese food and speak Chinese.

Book a seating time and make reservations for main dining room if that is important to you.

Don’t cruise with any expectations, as things happen that are out of your control.

Prepare yourself for a cultural whirlwind. The individuals next to me on the balcony Smoked constantly, and there was a lot of pushing and spitting in public areas.

Be early when tendering

Be open minded. Enjoy the difference of culture. Bring your upcoming cruise plans and book on board....they offer 20 percent off current prices and promotions, and an instant $200USD on board credit

Be quick on tender ports,

Its a childrens adventure playground. Be warned.

Be prepared for 95%asians who are culturally different from European/Americans. Do not expect ‘excuse me’ or ‘sorry’ in the lifts or crowded areas. Do not expect ‘thank you’ for holding doors open. Do not expect people to move when they are walking 5 abreast or they are blocking doors or corridors etc.

If it is bound for Asia it is a petri dish for communicable disease. RCCL does not care about comfort and safety

Make reservations for the free show in advance. You can wait in line for "standby"
SyedAndSeeme
Expect lots of crowd now. Difficult to find an empty table during breakfast at Windjammer, no matter what time you go. Lot of folks coughing so I would recommend wearing a mask even if few people wear it. The sea at times is choppy so keep Gravol if that affects you.

Its purely designed for the Asian market, so don't expect the same level as ships that are in Europe or the US, they are catering for a different culture.

Penang Hill and Temple tour. Save you money unless your enjoy standing in line for a good part of the tour. Guide was great. But honestly most tours in ports I am disappointed in.
AvidCruiser100
I wouldn’t advise people to go on this cruise because the people were rude and it was overrun with children.
