Due to time constraints, this was my second time taking this cruise route. However, Royal Caribbean's excellent food was still very appealing. The Radiant Ship was a bit small, and I could feel a slight rocking motion, but I got used to it and didn't get seasick. Part of the trip, a patient needed medical attention midway through, causing a half-day delay at the return port. This changed our itinerary to Mexico, which was a bit of a disappointment. However, the Cayman Islands were fantastic, with beautiful waters and beaches, making the trip worthwhile.

First, let me mention the good points. Although the Celebrity Crescent is an older ship from over a decade ago, the facilities are very well maintained, looking almost like a new ship. The rooms are nicely designed, with sliding glass doors to the bathrooms and showers. There's enough space under the bed for a 29-inch suitcase, and the lockers are also spacious enough for our belongings. Room and restaurant service were excellent, with staff readily available to assist us. The ship's staff are mostly English-speaking, and we even encountered some Chinese-speaking staff in the restaurants. The food in the main restaurant and buffet was quite good, mostly Western cuisine; I found the Asian food section to be just average. I recommend the paid restaurant Le Petit Chef, which features 3D projections with the food – entertaining and delicious. I liked the design of the ship's library, as well as the gym, wave pool, and golf course. There were also many activities on board, keeping the schedule packed every day. Now, let me complain about the bad points: Ctrip couldn't provide me with an accurate boarding address. I repeatedly confirmed with Ctrip, and the address they gave me was still 15 minutes away from the boarding location, which is unacceptable. In addition, the performances on the cruise ship were also disappointing. Only one day's performance was particularly good; the rest were mostly solo concerts or individual performances.

A very worthwhile trip; the shore excursions, cabin service, and dining options were all excellent. However, Ctrip, as a booking platform, didn't play a significant role overall. Hopefully, they can improve communication with the cruise line to better serve their customers.

For our first trip to Europe with the whole family, a cruise was the perfect choice! The elderly were relaxed and the children were happy. The kids searched for cats and jellyfish, while the adults enjoyed the mountains, sea, and temples. Waking up each day to the ship slowly entering a new port was wonderful. The facilities on Novogen were perhaps a bit basic, and the food and activities were geared towards American tastes, so we didn't get to do much on board. However, the itinerary was fantastic. Montenegro was breathtaking, and the last-minute change to Trieste was a million times better than the originally planned Koper. We had no complaints whatsoever, and the customer service on Ctrip responded very quickly to any issues. It was a very enjoyable trip.

We've been on a cruise twice already, and this was the longest one yet. The 18-day experience of crossing the North Pacific and the Tropic of Cancer was unforgettable. The service on board was excellent, and the food selection was plentiful. It was great value for money. Talking with some Chinese people in North America, we learned that the price we paid for a balcony cabin on Ctrip only got them ocean view cabins. This proves that with more Chinese tourists, the market has opened up. Crucially, we were able to adjust to the time difference right on the ship after returning from North America.

Excellent value for money! I liked it even more than my previous cruises like Ode to the Sea, Divine Sea, Star Cruises, and Golden Princess, probably because it was my first long-haul cruise. The itinerary was also great, from Singapore to Thailand, from Sri Lanka to India, and then to two Middle Eastern countries – very exotic. Here are some of my favorite points: 1. Very few Chinese people, especially not many from Taiwan or Hong Kong, which was perfect for me 🤣 2. The swimming pool is saltwater, no chemical smell! And the indoor pool is warm! Best of all, there's a huge changing room next to it, like a gym, with a sauna room with a sea view – I loved it! ❤️ 3. The staff were great; boarding and disembarking, passport collection, and visa interviews were all done in batches by number, very efficient and orderly. 4. Excellent room service! Better than many five-star hotels, twice a day, with turndown service and complimentary chocolates. 5. They had sugar-free ice cream and cakes. The following were the drawbacks: 1. The ship is a bit old. 2. The menu was hard to understand; there was too much Italian and French. 3. The boarding address provided by Ctrip was incorrect! Almost delayed!! The taxi fare cost me over 200 yuan more!
