Phuket port was easy, changed money before going on bus very simple, Markets were set up at the port for items to buy but if you had a tour you needed to do the shopping after you came back, Unfortunately our tour ended up being 10 hrs instead of 8.5 hrs. so was a long day and we only had 20 minutes to shop, but they were starting to close up by then. We did the James Bond Island Tour, wouldnt do it again. we didnt get to stop on the island, would of been nice, as there was a market place to shop on there. once again long way to go 2 hour bus ride there 2 hours back and then 2 hours on the water. Had an incident where a man put his foot thru the boat floor, so 1/2 hours was spent sorting him out and getting him back to the ship (the tour guides was amazing helping him) she wouldnt allow us to go on that boat, so they had to get anothr one, which wasted a lot of time and made our trip that much longer. Stopped at a muslim fishing village, only had 1/2 hour to shop (due to incident happening) got a few things but only postcards and a fan. found some of them to be a bit rude, others were fantastic. Had a lovely lunch, food was great, but for someone who doesnt eat seafood at all, there wasnt a great variety for me. however what there was, was delicious. Stopped at a pearl and gem centre, waste of time, very expensive and they give you your very own personal shopper, alright if you into that sort of stuff. the best thing abou it was the pure bread siamese cat with 2 different coloured eyes. Drove past a Nike and Addidas factory outlet and but wasnt part of any tour, was annoyed as I would of liked to have shopped there. (our tour guide didnt want to take us to the Gem place, but because it was on the tour she had to) Couldnt do any shopping at all there, so very disappointed in general with this tour, Gave it 5 because of the way the tour guide handled a very bad situation. Would do my own thing next time.

Due to the taxi unions the ship could not provide transfer to Phuket town. There were taxis available at the port. As the weather was hot and humid we didnt venture far except for the local market shore side.

Had the best time here eating at local places, shopping, bar hopping. Money exchange places all over the place so it's very easy to exchange your currency. Such a beautiful place!

Dont bother with panoramic phuket tour. Assumed from spiel on rcl web page that it would provide scenery and panoramas. It provided neither. Just four hours of driving, basic commentary and a stop at a temple compound and two shops (cashews & high end jewels). Ocasionally glimpsed a beach in the distance. Very disappointed. Very glad to hightail back to the ship.

Had a tender at this port and would not waste time n money on Phuket town as there’s nothing there, in hindsight we should have just gone into Patong even though it was about an hour away, or else stayed on the ship.
