Entertainment

Our first cruise on one of the "big" ships. We were apprehensive at first but it turned out brilliant, the Cabin was bigger than we expected, very clean. The staff were amazing . All in all a very positive experience. Would definitely cruise with RC in the future. Only negatives were the Windjammer market place, it was always full and difficult to find a seat, but the food was excellent. Drinks were very expensive.

Overall, the cruise was a mixed experience. It didn’t seem to fully cater for the range of nationalities onboard, which made some of the activities and announcements feel limited in appeal. The entertainment was average at best, although the Silk Road show was a definite highlight and stood out for its quality and creativity. The cruise director was noticeably absent compared to other cruises I’ve been on, where they usually play a more visible and engaging role. Excursions were also quite disappointing, overpriced for what was offered and not really worth the cost considering what we actually saw. The saving grace of the trip was the incredible staff. They were friendly, attentive, and went above and beyond to make guests feel welcome and looked after. Their professionalism and warmth truly made the difference.

After all the problems we had trying to get a visa for China and we can say it's still a very grey area. We paid £450 at the end of the day a 242 hour visa with the help from RCCL you do not need to waste your money. The Spectrum of the Seas is very nice indeed, the staff are absolutely wonderful. The food and drink was excellent too. The cabin was very nice and was kept very clean. The first stop in Japan was a complete waste of time in our opinion! We stopped at Maizuru and had to pay $50 for the both of us for a shuttle bus, the ride took around ten minutes each way. There was absolutely nothing to do or see in the town, most of the shops were shut too. Niigata was a lot busier and had lots of shops to look around and the shuttle bus was a little cheaper! Hakodate was so much more interesting, shops and the view from off the top of mount Hakodate was brilliant and this tim the shuttle bus was free.

Although the cruise itself was pleasant enough, I found all the added expenses far too excessive.
