Rare Kelownabccan Posted October 28, 2023 #1 Share Posted October 28, 2023 Looking at an Asia cruise next fall and happened to see this one for 11 nights.....have been on MSC a few time so know the drill for us North Americans...lol......anyways what about the ship over in Asia?? and the different cultures there.....would I be impressed with the service etc and still the European flavor or would the ship be transformed into an Asian culture experience???...fairly easy for us to fly over from Seattle or Vancouver to Tokyo....so air not a problem Thoughts.......hopefully by someone who has done the ship and not just made up stuff...haha Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mackfam Posted November 1, 2023 #3 Share Posted November 1, 2023 My son and his girlfriend were on the Bellísima in September on a 9 day cruise around Japan with one stop in S Korea. They were in the YC and had previously been on the Meraviglia so could compare to that experience. They had a great time, found the non YC areas of the ship much less crowded than on the Mera for this particular cruise. Food and service in the YC were great. They said there were some different menu items that catered to the Asian market but regular items were also available. English speakers were in the minority among the passengers (at least in the YC).

peder Posted December 3, 2023 #5 Share Posted December 3, 2023 Did you end up booking? I'm having trouble finding much info about the Bellissima's jaunt around Asia. I assume different social media apps are used, but you'd struggle to even know this ship is in operation based on how little info there is out there.

clydecruiser Posted January 2 #6 Share Posted January 2 We have booked this cruise while onboard Seashore in November/December 23. Just booked our flights from UK. As you say very difficult to find out much information. I know she did 21 day dry dock in Shanghai at end of 2023. it will certainly be an adventure.
