Creator's Key Takeaways

this trip surprised me in every way possible from the ship to the passengers the entertainment to the destinations it was completely different to what I'm used to

the reviews of this ship were considerably worse than the rest in the fleet but I was honestly ready for anything and I wanted to find out why

I think a lot of it is that people book this Cruise expecting it to be exactly the same as it is in America which of course it isn't

I was feeling pretty confused about the bad reviews that I'd read there were lots of one and two star reviews for this ship and I wanted to find out why

Creator's Tips & Advice

Check your drinks package inclusions to avoid unexpected charges
Book shows and activities in advance if possible, as some require reservations

YouTube Video Description

I’ve just disembarked a cruise on the biggest American cruise ship ever designed for the Chinese market, we sailed from Singapore to Tokyo and although I’ve cruised plenty of times in the past in America or Europe this trip surprised me in every way possible. From the ship to the passengers, the entertainment to the destinations, it was completely different to what I’m used to. Interested in cruise destinations?

The reviews of this ship were considerably worst than others in the fleet but I was honestly ready for anything and I wanted to find out why. We boarded the ship in Singapore and despite the fact that there were lots of different nationalities onboard and visas needed it actually didn’t take as long as I expected. They did take and keep our passports which is very common on Asia cruises. We had copies of our passports and our driving licenses so it wasn’t a problem. I’d already checked in online pre-cruise and because I’m from the UK I didn’t need any visas for the places that we were visiting. Spectrum of the Seas was built in 2019 and she can hold almost 5000 people at maximum capacity. I’d learn later that the most popular common onboard was Singaporean! Which does make sense and it explains a lot of things that happened on the cruise. ▶ FREE COURSE.
