Additional details
This cruise was booked for us as a family holiday, including our two teenagers.
After reading reviews I had prepared myself and my immediate family for an older, tired ship with not so much to do and average food...we were thrilled to have realised we were wrong.
THE SHIP
Cabin Review
Inside Stateroom 9
We were on deck 2 so the engine noise was really loud. The teens room was loud and rattled. Ear plugs were a must!
At one time the water was cold in our shower, we had overturned the tap, our lovely attendant Marites soon had it quickly sorted for us.
Quite a few storage places.
The two single beds pushed together were a little annoying. Suitcases fitted easily under the beds.
Port Reviews
Bangkok (Laem Chabang)
We went to Pattaya one day and Harbour Mall the next for a wee shop.
The first day we used the taxi/bus service in the port hall, the next day we walked outside the gates and got a private taxi...it was cheaper but obviously not without risks. Our driver was lovely, picked us up at the designated time and place like we arranged. We got back early and enjoyed the ships facilities without the crowds....quite the treat!
Hanoi
Booked a bus to Hanoi, then a 6hour trip around Halong Bay. Having done Phi phi islands and in hindsight, would’ve spent longer in Hanoi.
Singapore
We did Singapore ‘on our own’. The port is handy to town with plenty of taxis. Security was very efficient.
Hong Kong
Used the hoho bus, taxis, star ferry and walking to get around to see the sights. Was very easy.
