Ship experiences

Food and Dining

4 out of 5
Only tried Horizon and the International cafe this time. The staff at International Cafe weren’t the friendliest all the time and sometimes you were waiting a while for dishes to be collected in Horizon but the food and drinks in both were lovely

Penang (Pulau Pinang), Malaysia

4 out of 5
Did an excursion of famous homes and temples - excursion was a bit of a waste of time as the excursion was only a few minutes from the port- we left the excursion halfway through and did a walk about on our own which was great

Phuket, Thailand

3 out of 5
Did the James Bond Island tour. Was a long drive to the boat trip to the island and when on the boat we were told that the boat was too big to let us actually dock at the island. When we got there there were boats a little smaller that were able to land so was disappointed we weren’t able to. Then went to a fishing village on stilts which was interesting but felt like we were spying on people in their homes and bought souvenirs out of guilt.

Disembarkation
