The cruise experience was excellent in every aspect, especially the spacious rooms, which surpassed most five-star hotels. The food quality was also superb, exceeding the standards of many restaurants. The most convenient aspect was that almost all meals and drinks were available on board; you could eat and drink wherever you wanted without additional charges, including tips (except for a few Michelin-starred restaurants). Areas for service improvement include promptly informing passengers of the ship's departure and arrival port information, especially if the original port information changes. During my recent cruise, I encountered a port change when boarding in Quebec City, and the berth was quite far away and not even visible. I couldn't get a response from the cruise line's WeChat customer service platform in China, and I eventually found out about the situation at the Quebec City Visitor Center.

Plus: some of the cruise service crew provided excellent service, there were several facilities onboard to cater to all ages, food was plenty and tasty, good experience at Naha, Okinawa; it has its own unique charm without the crowd. Minus: long walk to board the cruise at Shanghai, a real struggle for my elderly parents. Our first dinner at the dining hall was chaotic; no one informed us that we’ve been pre-assigned dining times until we reached our turn after queuing for quite some time. As we were one of the last passengers to board, there was no service staff on standby at the entrance to greet and assist us to our cabin rooms, we had to go high and low to look for the relevant service staff. Our cabin room was a bit cramp for three adults. Toilet within the cabin room can only fit one person at a time.

We had a wonderful time at the Disney Cruise Adventure Singapore! We booked through trip.com and it was quite straightforward. The prices were good, but we did find an even lower price for a better room type closer to the cruise sailing date which we were no longer able to cancel. Nonetheless, the cruise experience was wonderful.

I booked a GS suite this time, which included suite privileges, and based on that, I'd like to give the Costa MSC a good review. Firstly, the ship is relatively old, the Costa MSC from 2003, but fortunately, the cabins are well-maintained, so it's still quite presentable overall. Since I was traveling with elderly people, this experience was particularly memorable; the Costa MSC might be more suitable for them. I've previously sailed on Royal Caribbean's Mariner of the Seas, Anthem of the Seas, Spectrum of the Seas, and Cunard Line's Queen Elizabeth, and compared to those, the Costa MSC is smaller and doesn't offer as much entertainment. But for the elderly, the most important thing is that they eat Chinese food, which they are very comfortable with. Secondly, the ship isn't too large, so they can easily walk around the entire ship. Additionally, many of the staff speak Chinese, which is also crucial for the experience for seniors. Secondly, the staff on this ship are incredibly welcoming and their hard work is evident. Whether it's the Chinese, Filipino, or other Southeast Asian crew members, most are extremely friendly. After several days of sailing, we've gotten to know each other and had many exchanges. Finally, the price is great. For less than the price of a Caribbean balcony cabin, you can stay in the most expensive suite here. Considering the service and facilities, I think it's quite reasonable. Therefore, I highly recommend the MSC for travelers with elderly family members.

First, let's talk about the amazing dining. We've been on five cruises across four ships, and honestly, among the free meals, MSC's is the best. The main dining room is excellent, and the buffet usually features a main dish every day, including king crab, lobster, scallops, and abalone. Other meals are similar to most ships. We were very satisfied with our recent fare. Since we haven't had any paid dining options with Royal Caribbean, we won't comment on those. Accommodation is generally similar across Royal Caribbean, Princess Cruises, Idaho, and MSC. There isn't a significant difference. Service is better than some of the foreign staff; most are very friendly. Because we've had many experiences, we usually leave a tip for the cabin and main dining room staff before disembarking. Recreational facilities: Surprisingly, they're not much different from Royal Caribbean's, and quite good enough to enjoy. The facilities are quite new, but it was relatively crowded during our National Day cruise. Avoid peak times for activities and meals. Shore excursions were well-organized, efficient, and well-managed. The show was great; the female singer had a fantastic voice and left a deep impression, and the song and dance performances were excellent. If you have the time, try to see it. The only noticeable drawback was that people kept walking around after the show started; they should really do something about that.
