This ship is probably the most beautiful ship we've ever sailed on (we've done about 15 cruises)! Of course, being new helps, but it's much more than that. They've really gone out of their way to make it visually appealing, from the artwork to the architecture. The restaurants area all beautiful too. The public areas are amazing!

The ship left from Hong Kong, where we stayed for a few days. Interesting city, though we hit much rain. We learned that November/December is the rainy season in Asia.

Our cabin, 13634 was amazing! It is a huge cabin with a sitting room and separate bedroom. The bathroom is about double the size of what we're used to (of course, this is a superior grand suite). We had a wrap-around balcony (about 3X the size of the others). It had space for two sets of lounge chairs and a table and chairs. The only problem with the cabin was that it is right below the pool deck and one morning we were awakened at 4:00 a.m. by the sound of the crew dragging pool furniture above us and using high powered hoses to clean the deck. Once we let them know, they ensured that it didn't happen again.

Superior Grand Suite with Balcony

Cabin SG

Do NOT book on the 13th floor! It's right under the pool deck and we were awakened by dragging of chairs and power hoses spraying down the deck at 4:00 a.m. one morning. Book on 11th or 12th floor.

Port Reviews

Hong Kong

Hong Kong is a bit, expensive city. We enjoyed our visit (though we had rain most days).

Ho Chi Minh City (Saigon)

Enjoyed the Cu Chi tunnels and touring the city. It's difficult to see the hardships of the people there.

Singapore

Fabulous city--not to be missed! Be sure to see the Gardens by the Bay at night. the lights are spectacular. Spend the $8 to go up and walk between the electric trees!
