If you haven't been to SE Asia, this is a great introduction. Each port is SO different and worth visiting.
Embarkation
4 out of 5
Embarkation is never great, but this went fairly smoothly.
Ship experiences
Food and Dining
3 out of 5
Main dining rooms were just OK, buffet was just OK, but specialty restaurants are good.
Onboard Activities
3 out of 5
This was not a large ship, so not as many activities. We did enjoy the pool area.
Entertainment
3 out of 5
Since this wasn't a larger ship, we didn't get the best performers, but the shows were, in large part, entertaining.
Service and Staff
5 out of 5
With only a couple of exceptions, excellent.
Ship Quality
5 out of 5
We were impressed with the cleanliness of the ship. Layout was fine.
Cabin / Stateroom
3 out of 5
We were disappointed in the size and the "bedroom". In particular, the bathroom wasn't much different from a standard cabin. For us, the bathroom makes a big difference.
Ship tip
If you want a Suite experience, don't book a Penthouse.
Didn't go into Hanoi as we were tired of buses. We took a shorter excursion to see Ha Long Bay. The embarkation was a disaster - truly - but the bay excursion was fine.
Good - except we were forgotten in the reception area. Luckily, I saw people with tags saying they were going on the same "airport destination" excursion and ran to join them. Although, being in a suite, we were first off the ship, we ended up in bus 5 of 5!
We are doing the same trip next week. Any ideas on the best way to see Bangkok. Are there taxis at the port will to do full day excursions of the sites and then into the city for nightlife.
Are any of the trips in Vietnam visiting the war sites etc
Or are the ships excursions better.
Any ideas appreciated
