Bangkok (Laem Chabang) to Asia Princess Cruise Reviews

My husband being a Vietnam vet decided to fly from LAX to Vietnam via EVA air. We spent 4 days in DaNang Vietnam prior to flying to Thailand for this cruise. In Vietnam we stayed at the Hagl in DaNang. We did an open air jeep tour with looking glass jeep tours & another tour up to Hue w/Ann Tours. Both tours were fantastic. We then flew to Bangkok where we were picked up by BAT (Bangkok airport ...

After a wonderful night and morning at the Shangri-La Hotel, we were driven by BMW to the ship at Laem Chabang(Bangkok). We went through all the paper work fast and boarded the ship. On board we made new friends from Canada,USA,New Zealand and Australia and spent many nights going to shows and dinners with them. We attended the activities on board, viewed sky lined lights from Hong Kong, ...

This was our third Princess cruise, having previously visited the Baltic and Mediterranean. We looked upon it as a chance to see many Asian ports briefly and then decide to perhaps revisit one or more for a longer stay eventually. This was a very good Asian sampler, especially with the addition of a Tokyo stopover on the way home. We arrived in Bangkok two days early and would really recommend ...

This was our fifth cruise but the other 4 were much better.We found the food in the Horizon buffet, and in the Vivaldi dining room  was not as good as on Celebrity,Royal Caribbean & Carnival. The shellfish was especially disappointing.  Usually these cruise ships have one enormous dining room  and have a violinist or pianist playing dinner music but on the Diamond Princess it was split into 5 ...

Oh how exciting it is to read two differently rated reviews on this cruise (Clive & Sue).............I agree with you both! Yes I believe the itinerary was the main attraction for many people on this cruise but others like ourselves our hardened Princess cruisers, this being our third. Embarkation was easy, I think Princess have listened to previous reviews & had laid on extra staff to deal ...

We had decided to travel to Asia only months before departing and were very pleased to see some great packages on offer through our Internet agent and terrific prices for the package (including transfers, hotel etc). This was our ninth cruise, our second with Princess. Like most people we met on the cruise, we added extra days in both Bangkok and Beijing. We were booked into the Banyan Tree ...

Princess Cruises: Leam Chebang Thailand to Sydney Australia 20th December 2007 to 9th January 2008 This is the first time I have attempted to write a cruise review and whilst it may sound a little harsh at times I have tried to be as honest and truthful as I can be. I am 51 year old male from the UK and travelled with my wife and 2 sons age 18 & 20 in 2 separate inside cabins on deck 10. This is ...

This was our tenth cruise and our second one on the Sapphire Princess. We sailed on this ship when it was new in 2004 and enjoyed it very much so we were interested in doing this longer cruise over the Christmas and New Year holidays. My husband and I are in our sixties and live on the Gold Coast in Queensland Australia. We usually have long flights to join cruises in Europe and the US but ...

We began our long flight on Thursday morning, November 9, 2006 from Indianapolis, Indiana, flying through Chicago, then to Tokyo, then onto Bangkok, Thailand. We were lucky enough to have business class air on American Airlines for the 15 hour flight from Chicago to Bangkok. It was wonderful. American Airlines treated us very well and we were rested and relaxed when we got to Tokyo. We then ...

Sapphire Princess, Bangkok to Beijing, 26 Mar - 11 Apr 2005. To open, my advice to everyone is to use this resource (Cruise Critic) as much as possible, in particular the roll calls. For a first time Princess cruiser we found this forum invaluable for picking up tips and meeting fellow cruisers prior to departure. On board there are your standard set of serial whingers, the ones that complain ...
