SUMMARY

Lovely ship with nice atmosphere being well managed by Captain Roger Bilton and Cruise Director, Brett, who kept everybody informed. Food was good but not up to the standards enjoyed on previous cruises on Sea Princess. Entertainment was poor, especially in the theatre, evidently due to excessive cost cutting. Well managed port calls with minimal queues and formalities handled very efficiently. Good mix of passengers (31% UK, 30% USA, 42 nationalities) and friendly staff (50 nationalities with the majority from the Philippines). Great itinerary from Beijing to Bangkok. Avoided the Princess tours as it was easy to get around using the free shuttles.
