when the bus stops at the factory, the farmers house, and the market... just stay in the bus. totally not interesting. when the tour is complete...don't get on the tenders just yet. turn around and stop by Me Trang coffee shop. It's the first shop off the pier. try the coffee. just try it. Read Less

Did the shio's city tour....everything as advertised: religious sites, beautiful views, the town market... Read Less

We took the ship's excursion, Nha Trang cooking class which included a chance to make spring rolls, banana flower salad, and cabbage package soup before consuming a lunch prepared by the chef of the same dishes. The meal was preceded by a walk through the local market and the resort where we took the class also included a little Cham arts village that was very interesting. Read Less

We loved Nha Trang. We took the bus (cruise sponsored) into the city. The city is great, beautiful beach area, fun shopping, and great Vietnamese restaurants. We will definitely come back to Nha Trang for an extended visit Read Less

Had to be tendered to the dock. Waited two hours. Ok when there. Read Less

Nha Trang, Vietnam – this was a tender port using the ship’s lifeboats. I took the Princess shore excursion to Ponagar Cham Towers, Long Son Pagoda and the embroidery workshop. It cost $80 for 5 hours. The tour ticket said to expect crowds and that was certainly correct. It was close to lunar New Year and there were a lot of tourists from China on vacation in Nha Trang, as well as lots of people from the ship. I have no idea how many of the Chinese were from Wuhan! Princess had attempted to stagger the arrival of passengers at the sites but bad traffic messed up that attempt. I’m still glad I went on the excursion but it was crowded and I felt like I didn’t get to see as much of everything as I would have liked. At the pagoda one passenger managed somehow to get into an argument with a local vendor who was yelling that the passenger hadn’t paid him. I saw the passenger give him a whole fistful of US dollars so I am not sure what that was about. Also at the pagoda, we had been clearly told in advance to wear long pants, no tank tops, no short skirts etc, but still there were passengers wrongly dressed, showing their knees or shoulders (or both) and therefore not allowed to go into the temple by the guards. So make sure you follow the dress code if you are going on a tour to any temples. We stopped at the Nha Trang market as well, which was interesting. Also the embroidery was pretty but again the workshop was too crowded to be able to see much and also it kind of felt like it might be a sweat-shop where the people making the profits out of the tourists are not the ladies sitting there diligently doing the delicate embroidery.

amazing cultural tour of the city, nice break at the beach. The tour guide was great! I would go back in a heart beat. Read Less

Loved this place. Had an excellent mix of authentic & modern delights including a great beach. Locals were friendly and we felt completely safe. Read Less

Nha Trang is a city being rebuilt. Our guide was wonderful and only pointed out what was interesting. We went to a wonderful Buddhist temple and a welcoming center of a small village.Also, we visited a small farm where we were given a traditional welcoming tea. At the end of the tour, we visited a traditional out door restaurant for a mixture of local fruits and juices. This was probably the best of all the tours we had. Read Less

A nice oversight of a growing Vietnamese city. Very interesting Read Less

We took the shuttle that Princess provided for $15/person. It dropped us off downtown and we walked all over. The beach was gorgeous. My husband wanted Pho so we actually at at the Intercontinental Hotel because I wanted just a sandwich. We did go into Highland Coffee (the Starbucks of Vietnam). My husband said his espresso was excellent and he bought me a slushy lime drink that was to die for. Read Less

I could not get off of the tender boat because at low tide dock was 1 meter higher than the boat. It is a shame that this is now a tender port because of the construction of a cable car. I am sure most people were able to get off of the tender but I didn't want to take the risk especially since winds were an issue that day- the tendering was very slow in general- and huge lines later formed to get back to the ship. Our captain pointed out that the dock was the responsibility of the port, and he had asked them to build a floating one to avoid this issue. If you can limbo at the same time as stepping up 1 meter, you could get off during this time! Read Less

Pedicab tour round the city. Market was quite filthy. Read Less

I went exploring on my own, Its not hard to do, just went to the "main street" walked around had some excellent food. Read Less

We didn't book any trips as we were only here briefly. We chose to walk around the streets near to the port. Read Less

Very good beach. However watch your stuff. Plenty of thieves on motorbikes watching you. A few fellow passengers got robbed. One guy grabs your bag, then passes it to his mate on a bike who scouts away. Also, vendors in the street market are very annoying. Lots of pushing and shoving. Not pleasant Read Less

A reasonable stopover. No tenders were required to disembark but the process was still painfully long - interrupted frequently by almost intelligible announcements. Read Less

Went to Vinpear Island Resort on own. Took cable car over and saved the additonal $100.00 the cruise line charged for the same adventure. The Island is worth the trip and the beaches are beautiful. Read Less

Tender port: got off and negotiated a 2 hour boat trip around the islands then took a taxi to a lovely beach area further along the coast Read Less

No one knew anything about this port apart from you’d need to be on a bus for at least two hours to get anywhere. Too expensive Read Less

Long bus trip after late arrival into port. Knowledgeable guide and good whistle stop trip with lunch Booked on Black Friday so half price Read Less

Made our own way in by negotiating with a local taxi driver at the port to have him for the day and visit all the sites. Excellent value for money, lovely location, temples, Budha statue beach and markets. Read Less

Been many times-markets-beach front ok. Princess now charge $15 to take shuttle into town, so not worth the expense. Read Less

This is a tender port and we had to wait till all the RCCL VIPs have gone ashore for our turn. When we got back the queue for tender was rather messy. Nha Trang is a nice holiday location enough. Read Less
