We took the 7 night Dubai cruise in March 2013. The ship was pristine, right-sized, and filled with terrific amenities and staff that consistently went above & beyond.

The crew, staff & all personnel were of utmost professionalism & very helpful. The excursions travel time were too long.The food on the ship was good for breakfast but fair & sometimes mediocre for dinner in the main dining rooms. The dessert chef has not idea what he was making because the tiramisu tasted like lemon mousse & so on . The ship general public areas were dated & so was the handicapped room we were in.

Royal Caribbean should have some arrangement for Enter and Exit Visa, we were told by Emirates that we needed only one visa and on embarking we were asked to go to emergency visa counter, where they asked us to pay 2000 dirams on the spot. We agreed, with very unpleasant feeling, and none of the credit cards were going through, they wanted cash, and we do not carry that much cash. I am not well and was sitting under stress in the wheelchair for one hour. Finally my husband went to some higher person, and said to use the manual machine. The lady who first saw us swiped 10 times, I think she had no knowledge!!! I hate to use these words but whole day was not enjoyable with this unfortunate experience. Then they asked us to go to exchange office, they refused to do anything and said to walk to other terminal to get cash. They should have some empathy for wheelchair and older people.. Also before getting visa from Emirates, we phoned Emirates office in Ottawa, UAE Embassy in Ottawa...

I'm really not for traveling with as many as 3500 other passengers, however Celebrity handles such numbers very well. The crew is very personable and welcoming. Our only poor experience was in having dinner in the Olympic Dining room, where the service was so incredibly slow. It took 4 hours t serve our dinner, with no explanations to why the interminable delays between courses. On the other hand, we had a marvelous time at the Qsine dining room with a charming group of personnel who had a great time showing off the concept of their dinlng room.

#1. Prior to Cruise I sent a letter to request a cabin Change if someone cancelled prior to the Cruise.No one answered my letter. #2 The food was not as good as the Cruise we took on the same ship on Oct 28 from Barcelona....#3 Some of the Show Act,s were a repeat of the previous Cruise ones..Other than that the Waiters,Room Staff $ Crew Members were fantastic so friendly & could not do enough for you,which helped make up for our previous remarks.

The ship is very nice, like most of Royal Caribbean's ships. The food selection was weaker than other cruises we have been on, but the service was perfect. Our stateroom attendant was great as was all of the staff. The itinerary allowed us to see several countries that we would not have visited otherwise. I would not hesitate to book a cruise on this ship again. Some of the ports (Japan, Xiamen, Siagon) did not have much to see on the excursions. However Beijing, South Korea, Bankok, Hong Kong, and Singapore where fantastic. This cruise ship does not have much control over what there is to see at a particular port, but I would not recommend anyone go to Vietnam, it is a dump.

This was my second cruise on the Costa Classica. The first was back in the 1990s on a cruise to the Greek Islands out of Venice. It has been renovated and greatly improved. I was one of less than 50 americans out of over 1000 passengers. If you are not the type person who can adjust to different cultures and want everything "spoiled american style" this cruise is not for you. If you enjoy meeting people from around the world and are open minded enough to accept things that are not done exactly like we are used to then I would recommend this. I have not been on a cruise in over 10 years and it seems Costa is nickle and diming you to death but I will say that things may have changed in the cruise industry that I am not aware of. One thing that is new for me is a service charge for room service of 2 euros. Also a charge of 7 euros if you want breakfast in your room. This may now be typical but it is new to me. Overall food quality was not as good as what I experienced 10 years a...

Overall we had a good impression of the ship. It was clean and in good repair. There was sufficient space and equipment for the passengers for a medium sized ship. Food was not up to the standards we expected. The entire crew was outstanding.
