The cruise ship was large and luxurious, with excellent room and dining services, a wide variety of dishes, and overall good arrangements. The downside was that most of the recreational facilities were chargeable; the only free options were table tennis, swimming, and the hot tub, which were very crowded. Additionally, I hope Ctrip can provide a floor plan of the cruise ship and a map of the cabins to make choosing a room easier.

Royal Caribbean's Spectrum of the Seas family trip was a complete success! Traveling with my 7-year-old daughter, the overall experience exceeded expectations. The ship offered a wealth of activities, including a kids' club, swimming pool, and various shows, ensuring something new and exciting for my child every day. The accommodations and meals were hassle-free, requiring minimal packing, making it perfect for families with young children. During the shore call in Fukuoka, we opted for independent exploration. Port access was smooth, taxis were readily available, and we leisurely strolled through the Japanese streets, picking up snacks and souvenirs at a relaxed pace. The Nagasaki and Jeju Island segments were well-organized and safe. Traveling between two countries on one ship eliminates the hassle of repeated border crossings, making it especially family-friendly. We had a relaxing and enjoyable trip throughout, with my daughter finding everything fascinating. It was an unforgettable family sea voyage, and I highly recommend it to families looking for a short international trip with their kids.

The food and beverage service was satisfactory, and the cabin cleaning service, which was done two or three times a day, was also good. However, other aspects, such as the attitude of the front desk staff and travel advisors, were just average, and the entertainment options were relatively limited.

The m/s Paul Gauguin has completed its multi-million-dollar refurbishment

The m/s Paul Gauguin has completed its multi-million-dollar refurbishment

Paul Gauguin Cruises, the French Polynesia destination expert and winner of Condé Nast Traveler's 2024 Readers' Choice Award for "Best Small Cruise Ship," announced that the 330-passenger m/s Paul Gauguin has recently completed a seven-week refurbishment in Singapore. This comprehensive multi-million-dollar renovation features refreshed spatial designs, upgraded guest facilities, and sustainable technology enhancements to continuously elevate passengers' "seamless and carefree" cruise experience. Key highlights of the refurbishment include a modern makeover for the popular Le Grill restaurant, a redesigned pool deck with shaded cabana seating areas, four new connecting staterooms, updated soft furnishings throughout the ship, and sustainable technology upgrades. The redesign was led by globally renowned transportation design firm Stirling Design International, whose innovative approach perfectly aligns with Paul Gauguin Cruises' artistic ambiance and authentic exploration ethos. Interwoven latticework, canvas elements, and warm wood finishes harmonize beautifully with breathtaking tropical landscapes, showcasing a modern aesthetic that coexists with nature. Refurbishment highlights of m/s Paul Gauguin: Connecting Staterooms: Four new connecting staterooms have been added on Deck 7 to meet the growing demand for multigenerational (family) travel, complementing the highly successful "Moana Explorer Program" for children aged 6 to 15—a program developed in partnership with Te mana o te moana, the South Pacific's premier marine education and conservation foundation. Le Grill Restaurant Makeover: The open-air restaurant by the pool features a stylish, contemporary design with white wooden screens, ceramic tiles, soft oak furniture, and chic lighting, creating an elegant dining atmosphere for guests to enjoy the ship's renowned culinary offerings. Pool Deck Transformation: The pool deck now boasts new white canopies providing shade for cabana-style seating areas, while the pool's exterior is adorned with new mosaic tiles. Spacious white loungers surround the space, offering guests a perfect spot for relaxation. Sustainable Technology: The ship now features advanced heat recovery systems, high-efficiency chillers, and optimized electric motors to significantly reduce energy consumption. A new seawater treatment system produces fresh water onboard, while the Nordaq filtration system creates drinking water from seawater, helping eliminate plastic bottles and minimize single-use plastics. Waste management improvements include glass crushers and cardboard compactors for efficient recycling. Visual Upgrades: Paying homage to parent company PONANT EXPLORATIONS GROUP, the ship's funnel now displays PONANT's iconic "Three Sails" logo, crafted from polished steel with LED backlighting for striking nighttime visibility. Additionally, Paul Gauguin Cruises' "P-shaped emblem" is prominently positioned at the bow of Deck 8, while the sleek white hull incorporates modern gray accents. These designs reflect the shared values of the group's brands, embodying a commitment to authentic exploration and maritime spirit. The m/s Paul Gauguin returned to French Polynesia in May for year-round operations, continuing to offer its award-winning all-inclusive luxury cruises with 7- to 14-night island itineraries to the Society Islands, Tuamotu Archipelago, Cook Islands, and Marquesas Islands.
