Review summary

Older ship, I probably wouldn't sail on it again. Major ports in Thailand and Vietnam were 2+ hours away, really shortening our excursions.

Ship Quality

3 out of 5
Public bathrooms were clean and real towels were a nice touch. Older ship, even concierge level cabins are small. No self service laundry onboard

Cabin / Stateroom

3 out of 5
Small, very clean cabin. Almost zero counter space in bathroom. Very small sink, so I mostly did laundry in the shower

Disembarkation

We had 2 cabins and our friends had different embarkation times than us, so we hefted our own luggage (all of us senior citizens). Singapore port was well staffed
