Review summary

For my taste, cruising is to restrictive in terms of sightseeing. Met nice people on board though. Excursions are very expensive for what you get out of it. If you are an experienced traveller, make your own plans.

Bangkok to far away from port to make it worth going there. Went to Pataya on princess shuttle and then did my own thing there. Nice
