Cruise Line


Recommended Posts

I love going on a cruise line vacation. It's all inclusive and so relaxing.

 

I've been to the 3 night Bahamas cruise with Royal Caribbean and the 5 night West Caribbean cruise with Norwegian. I would highly recommend Free Style Cruising by Norwegian.

 

It makes it more comfortable being around the Filipino crew working in the ship because they give you special treatment!

 

Next cruise for me will probably be Disney Cruise. I'm sure my son will enjoy it. Any experiences you can share will be awesome!

I have taken a cruise to Alaska, West carribean, East Carribean, Hawaiian island and the greek isles. The advantage with crusing is the ship's service. LOdging, activities and very excellent food.

 

In cruising, you still pay for land tour to each destination. That is extra. These tours are bitin, because you have limited hours. But all in all, the cruise is gastronomical and you do noy worry about your baggage and activities.

 

In places like Europe, I rather do the land tour type where you stay in different hotels having to ride on a big bus or ferry. You see more places that way.

Been on the Love Boat - The Princess Cruises Mexican Riviera Cruise.

 

It was fun! Lots of things to do on the ship, plus eat as much as you like. I gained 5 pounds in 6 days. The fine dining restaurants served fantastic courses nightly! The price of the meals, if ordered in a restaurant in a city, would itself be more than the price of the cruise!

 

What made it more fun was that 60% of the cruise staff are Filipinos! They treated us extra extra special just because we could converse in tagalog! Want white rice in the morning? Ask in tagalog - "May sinaing po ba?" and it comes steaming hot, served with big smiles. Conversing with them makes you feel proud to be Filipino.

 

We didn't take any packaged land tours. We just went around by ourselves. The areas around the docks on the Mexican Riviera cruise are kind of tourist traps. There are bargains, but nothing spectecular. The ship was really the destination.

 

Next time maybe we'll take a Superstar cruise from HK or SG.

I have been on board the following ships:

 

Disney Magic

Disney Wonder

Carnival Fantasy

Royal Carribean Mariner of the Seas

Royal Caribbean Freedom of the Seas

 

For me, the Royal Carribean ships were the best. They had more to offer than the other cruise lines. They have the biggest ships. If you stay in a Grand Suite or better, you are given access to a special 'concierge room". Here, there are special hors d'oeuvres and all the bar drinks you can imagine for free. In addition, the concierge person will arrange for you to get the best seats to the shows they offer on the ship. On the other hand, the Disney Cruise Line offered the best service. Service that is synonymous with Disney. Obviously, the Disney ships are great if you are traveling with kids. The kids have unlimited access to all the famous Disney characters. The only negative thing is that the Disney ships do not have a casino.

 

I'm attaching a photo to give you an idea of size difference between a Royal Carribean ship and a Disney ship. The photo was taken inside Mariner of the Seas.

I prefer being in a smaller cruise ship than a really large one. Smaller cruise ships are more intimate...one gets to interact with the other passengers more intimately. Huge cruise ships sometimes carry up to 3,000 passengers where the chances of bumping into a new-found friend are slim because of the large crowds. Also food lines on smaller ships with less passengers aren't as long.

 

Give me a smaller ship any day. It's more fun on a smaller ship where it's easier to make acquaintances.

Meron bang cruise line along south-East asian countries?

Star Cruises operate out of Hong Kong. Destinations include Southeast Asian countries as well as some ports of call in China,, South Korea, Japan and Vietnam. Several years ago we embarked on a cruise on a Costa Cruise (Italian registry) that brought us to Sanya, in China's Hainan Province as well as Halong Bay in Vietnam. Costa Cruise also operates out of Hong Kong.

 

I'm certain there are other cruise lines that operate out of Singapore, Malaysia, and probably Thailand. Best to find the cruise you want on the internet.
