  2. My travel agent was not able to add the drink package (Carnival) at booking, she told me I had to do it on Carnival.com.

     

    Will I be able to use an Amex with the offer, the T&C states it must be bought when you book the cruise.

     

    Any experience with this one?

  3. Hello- we are seasoned cruisers and this will be our first cruise on RCL, I know we are not taking the newest vessel but it is our only option for now. We are taking the Voyageur from Singapore to Hong Kong.

     

    My question is we did not get early dining - is there anytime dining or what are our other options? Hoping it might open up as we have teens with us who won't want to wait that late to eat!

     

    Secondly - are there 2 formal nights typically on RCL and what is required for us to wear in the dining room?

     

    thanks!!

  4. Has anyone does this own their own? Would we be able to find a van to hold 7 people to take us there and back outside the port or do we need to pre book?

     

    I have been quoted $65 per person to get us to Han oi and we must pre pay, which makes me kind of nervous.

     

    Has anyone done it themselves?

     

    Thanks

  5. Having a hard time getting Zoom to agree (or could be a translation issue) that we don't want to go to the commission places.

     

    Any other tour guides recommended. Xaun is full already.

     

    thanks

  6. Hello - we are on a cruise and looking at two different tour guides, we are 2 families traveling with 3 teens.

    Are we missing any major sites and is there anything you would eliminate?

    - Thien Hau pagoda tolearn about Vietnamese cuture and religions

    - Trishaw ride 45minutes through many markets

  7. Thank you all for the information.

     

    I went to try and book the Princess cruise and was told that they had reached their capacity for minors on the ship! What!!

     

    So now I am looking at a 9 nine day cruise on the Voyageur RCI - I am just kind of concerned with how far away all of the cities are from the ports and the reviews are not that great of that ship!

  8. Hello - we are seeking some advice on what would be the best cruise line for us to choose for a 5-7 day cruise in Asia.

     

    We live in the US and are unsure of which would fit us best.

     

    We are 2 couples in the their mid 40's traveling with 3 teens 14, 16, 18. We have cruised Carnival and Norwegian and would like a product like these but don't want to feel like complete outsiders if everyone on board is Chinese.

     

    I was told to look into Royal and Princess - advice?

     

    thanks

  9. Hello - I have been looking for cruises in Asia for next summer and am not finding much of anything?

     

    Does anyone know why or when these would be available, haven't even found any reviews either!!

     

    Seems really weird, are they leaving this market?

     

    Thanks
