Ship Quality

Cabin / Stateroom
5 out of 5
Perfect for me. A little bit of a challenge for my handicapped husband. We brought a shower chair for his use from home as no handicapped rooms were available. We also brought a knee scooter for his use which made the room a bit tight. (He has a prosthetic leg). Overall it was fine. Our room steward, Putu was excellent!
Ship tip
Enjoy yourself. It’s a comfortable size and is headed into dry dock so will have new offerings available.
We rented a vehicle with friends thus were able to drive around and enjoy the beauty of the island. Previously we did the Pearl Harbor tour and would definitely recommend that as a must see as well.
Took a free shuttle from the ship to a local hotel. Took a “ StrollGuam”, like Uber to a locals shopping/eating area which unfortunately almost all businesses were completely closed. I walked several miles along the beautiful coast but again almost nothing was opened. This was on a Sunday. These areas were in pretty rough shape and I did not feel particularly safe walking alone. I had difficulty with phone service but eventually got in touch with my friends who rescued me.
Took a $15 round trip shuttle offered by the ship to a local mall. As soon as we got off of the ship we could smell an awful stench coming from the water. The mall was really within walking distance from the ship so not worth the $15 except that it got us around some construction in the area. The mall offered many upscale shops so not of interest. We then walked along the water as that’s what we were directed to to find a “locals” market. We walked to/from the market through a very poor and run down neighborhood. The market was amazing as it contained all sorts of fresh fruits, vegetables and fish many of which we have never seen or heard of. There was also many varieties of rice, noodles and many unknown food items. Unfortunately there were no non food items for purchase.
We took a bus from the ship into town, again to a shopping area. This was approximately 30 minutes each way so gave us a view of the local area. Very poor and run down. Quite sad to see. The other excursions offered from the ship to further areas in Vietnam were too long for us as they were mostly 6-8 hours.
Absolutely love this place. It’s extremely beautiful and clean. We’ve taken several tours on the Hop On Hop Off buses; walked quite a bit and had several local meals. It’s extremely safe and everyone is friendly. We’re staying in an apartment which is conveniently located to everything!
