I've just read another review from a fellow Aussie who must have been on the same cruise as us that went to Bangkok and Vietnam.

Overall we enjoyed the cruise because our main aim was to relax and choose to do as much or as little as we wanted. Some of the points that we agreed with was the smoking from the Casino was awful and we tried to avoid it at all costs. We also found that manners were quite lacking in the Windjammer Cafe from fellow cruisers who seemed to think everyone had to get out of the way for them. I don't think they even know the meaning of queuing or not 'reserving' seating, despite it being announced almost 3 times before every show began. There was one family in particular that would hog the front seats night after night and 'reserve' the seat for all his family members. Some dear friends that we met on that cruise went and sat in some of these 'reserved' seats and this repetitive offending cruiser told them 'You go, you go', but our friends stuck to their guns until the rest of his jokers family arrived .... quite a long time later!! What made it even worse was the fact that there was a staff member present who saw all this going on and didn't intervene!! I must admit that we dubbed this man who ALWAYS reserved the front seat as 'Yugo' everytime we saw him on the ship. We tried to arrive early to get a balcony seat just so we could be amused with everyone scrambling for front row seats .... sometimes this was more hilarious and entertaining than the show.

We didn't enjoy our shore excursion - Ho Chi Min City Highlights - and I don't think many of the others on our excursion did either. We seemed to go around in circles in the city as we were always passing the same buildings and running into the other cruisers who were on different trips (supposedly) but we somehow managed to always be in the same places. We thought it was a complete waste of money and wouldn't recommend it to anyone to do. Read more
