We flew to Hong Kong with Oasis Airline of Hong Kong, the food was dreadful and the service not much better. On arrival at the ship we were taken on board very quickly and our cases arrived in our stateroom even quicker. While the flight had been awful at the docks all seemed great so far.
Boat drill was chaotic. Done in 5 languages, English came 4th and by the time we had our turn the Italians, Spanish and French people on board jabbered on so much we couldn't hear a thing and no-one told them to shut up. Luckily the Germans (5th) had only the same trouble as us as the Brits kept quiet !
All this stood us in good stead so that when the ship broke down close to the Vietnam coast we knew exactly what not to do when the engines cut out and all the lights went out (at dusk) leaving us in the dark and drifting for around 40 minutes.
