Azamara Quest
Sail date: November 18, 2015
We choose this cruise because of the ports and tours. We did a tour in every city, so did not do a lot on the ship. We liked the smaller ship, but were a little disappointed overall. We have been on larger ships and this is billed as the top of the line and we just didn't see it. We had not cruised for 13 years, so maybe the next level is not as good now as it was then. If you like the iteniary, the tours and guides are fabulous. It is also fun to meet people from all over the world!
Cruise tips
Ho Chi Minh City (Saigon), Vietnam
There could be rough seas between Saigon and Da Nang
Do visit Hoi An
Find out where the ship will be docked and then decide where you want your hotel in HK to be. Be prepared for lots of people in the streets. We were very impressed with The Pottinger Hotel and highly recommend it.
If you can't afford to stay at the Marina Bay Sands, go for lunch at Sky on 57. For about the same price, you can have a wonderful lunch and a great view!
Azamara Quest
It is hot and humid in most of these ports. Be sure to plan for this. Bring a hat and sunscreen. The tours and ship provide water. The information given about what to wear to visit the temples was conflicting. Be prepared with clothes to cover your shoulders and legs.
