I would rate the cruise as average when compared to other cruise lines we have been on. When comparing with other cruises It is probably easier to identifying the negatives rather than the positives.

Embarkation and debarkation was handled quite efficiently and no complaints here.

The itinerary was quite good however the ports used were generally commercial ports or tendering was required. Docking at commercial ports meant that the cities visited were 1hr or 2 hrs from the port.. When tendering ashore was involved there were lengthy delays in the process of getting a tender ticket and waiting in a restaurant/lounge area of the ship for your group number to be called. I understand that on occasions, the ship because of its size, can only anchor offshore in some ports of call.

Cabin Review

Balcony

Verandah cabin midships - Verandah a little small when compared to other cruises but sufficient. Cabin was good size and the large hanging space for clothes etc was excellent.

Cabin steward was both professional and friendly.

Port Reviews

Singapore

Stayed overnight in Singapore prior to cruise. Short stay but enjoyable

Bangkok (Laem Chabang)

Went to Pattaya as Bangkok too far away for day tour. Shopping and foot massage. Best foot nassage ever

Koh Samui

Third visit to Koh Samui so just stayed around Nathon and had foot massage
