Chose for size of ship, anemities on the ship and explore all these countries without having to pack up for each country place went to. the ship is for adults only as no amenities for kids, which we like.

Excursions. For us, though, in Thailand we only went to Bangkok and missed another excursion because the ship had to leave earlier than planned due to low tide. So, Thailand was a disappointment as it is a huge, crowded city and way too much traffic.Cannot say we really saw the real Thailand. We enjoyed Vietnam. Saigon tour very good. We suggest that you pay extra or take your own tour to Hanoi in Vietnam, as it is over a 3 hour ride into Hanoi. You will be gone for 11 hours, 6 to 7 hours drive in one day. It was a really good experience as we had an excellent time visiting Hanoi. We recommend the kayaking tour in Sinahookville, Cambodia. It is a very poor place, so if you take the tuktuk or bus tour in the 90 degree heat and visit places where the poor kids are begging everywhere, it may not enjoyable. Also, if you have a choice to go on on the OE excursion even though it is more expensive, you will have only 10-16 people on your tour rather than a whole bus load. Much more personalized.

Our stateroom was not very large, but it was fine with a balcony. We signed up for the Concierge level as the amenities are worth it. The bathroom is very small, and a couple of "big" men said they could not fit in the shower. We have been on 3 Oceania cruises, so we were not surprised. Dining choices are really good with 3 restaurants, 2 of which you need a reservation. The service was fabulous. Enjoyed the entertainment and activities--Many to select from.

Cabin A1

Best to be in middle of ship and on level 7 or 8. We had rough waters in S China Sea twice and being in middle is the least difficult. Bathroom is usable but very small shower and area. Beds were comfortable. Enough storage to put all your belongings away. Great staff.
