The service made us feel right at home, and the mattresses were SO comfy! The cuisine was excellent and was prepared with my vegetarianism in mind. really delighted in the entire encounter
We had a great time throughout our two days at Signature. Since the ship is not as large as the surroundings, we may enjoy our solitude. The accommodations were excellent and cozy. It was simply too much food. Thank you very much for your wonderful welcome, team. shall return!
for us, a real royal treat! With its distinctive architecture and extensive selection of contemporary amenities and services, Signature Royal strikes a chord with us. On the second deck, we rested in a lavish stateroom with an own balcony and ate delectable meals. The staff was really nice and friendly. A special thanks to the guide and the cruise manager. I sincerely appreciate it.
Halong Bay is charming. Each person should go once in their lifetime. With outstanding cuisine, contemporary staterooms that are well-furnished, and exceptional service from the employees, Signature Royal offers royal experiences. highly recommended
With a few exceptions, the meals were superb, and the accommodations were cozy and well-decorated.
The coffee and the beef steak were poor, despite the fact that the majority of the cuisine was outstanding.
