Busan, South Korea Cruise Reviews

Beautiful city, a very nice mix of old and new. The APEC house was under renovation so we were not able to enter. The park and walk was very enjoyable. The international market was very crowded with very narrow alleyways....shopping was better outside the market...food carts with local delicacies abound....unfortunately they only took Korean dong. Luckily there was some food stalls at the dock ...

Shuttle bus into town dropped us off right near the markets. Fascinating food stalls and lots of doggie outfits. I had an excellent manicure. [ I avoid the spa on ship as I think the prices and add on gratuities are a rip off and I have yet to get a decent manicure on a ship.] ...

Poor excursion; 45 minutes to shop in 1 store ...

We took the ship’s offered tour to the APEC House and the Buddhist Sea Temple. It was about a 4 1/2 hour tour. I felt we covered a lot of ground and saw a lot. I would recommend it. ...

Busan lacks any significant points of interest. Princess chareg $15 for shuttle bus into town but the local tourist authourity provide a free service to Busan railway station, close to China town. Free WiFi in cruise terminal very good ...

Final port day and a lunchtime arrival in Busan, South Korea. We booked an independent tour along with a few other passengers and had a great guide, Beth {not her real name which was too hard to pronounce}. She had lived in England and Edinburgh {our area!} for several months whilst studying and her English was very good as was her delivery of information. We were driven about the main sights ...

A complimentary bus by Millenium takes you to town in Busan ...

Used tour with locals to provide a tour of Busan. The tour guide had very good English and was open to speaking about life Korea as well as knowledgable about Busan. Lunch provided was a Korean bbq which you had to cook yourself and was very tasty. ...

Buddha temple was boring, fish market was an eye opener. ...

Not a bad city, but it was a Sunday morning when we arrived and not much was open. However as the time went by we found a nice little strip of shops and they have some really interesting products for sale at great prices! ...
