Review summary

A very interesting combination of ports. We had never been to 5 of them. A great preview for another trip. Ship was extremely smooth sailing. We had high winds one night and barely felt a twitch.

Embarkation

4 out of 5
The Elite area was very crowed and not laid out well. There was not enough seating, especially for the mobility impaired

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

5 out of 5
Loved the Club Class experience. A special dish was offered each evening

Onboard Activities

4 out of 5
The stretching and abs class in the fitness center, led by Tokyo was excellent

Entertainment

5 out of 5
Three shows were offered for each stage show. This was excellent and let us get a seat. Before with 2 shows it was very difficult to get a seat. People were saving seats, or coming really early to reserve.

Children's Programs

No children in our party

Service and Staff

5 out of 5
Sura, Bing and Luis took excellent care of us in the Concerto dining room. Our room steward, Rolex, was always willing to help us and keep our room perfect

Ship Quality

Cabin / Stateroom

5 out of 5
Spacious and very comfortable. We used the fridge, couch, and balcony

Ship tip

Easy to get around. Not too crowded. There were 7 jewelry shops, which I thought was excessive. The Princess store had a limited number of everyday items. I needed tums and shaving cream, these were not available

We took the ferry to Macau. Very fun and interesting. The local guide in Macao was not very experienced. His management of the group was not the best. Good lunch atop the 6- story hotel

Phu My (Ho Chi Minh City), Vietnam

5 out of 5
Interesting MeKong Delta experience. River boat and canal boat ride. Bee farm. Excellent venue and lunch. Loved the small group, and van.

Laem Chabang (Bangkok), Thailand

5 out of 5
The Grand Palace was amazing. Would have liked more time there

Singapore

5 out of 5
We stayed 2 extra days and loved it. Very clean, friendly and easy to get around. The excursions offered by the ship were not accessible to us. Guests from the UK and Australia were able to book the partial day tour and then taxi to their hotel. We were told this was only available if we stayed in the Princess approved hotel. We had a reservation at the JW Marriott South Beach, but could not book the tour

Disembarkation

5 out of 5
Efficient and fast. Luggage easy to identify
