This cabin really met our needs for a 13 day trip. There was lots of storage and, while we were concerned about only having a curtain between the bedroom and the dining/living room areas, in fact, the curtains were very heavy and prevented sound from penetrating between the areas. The powder room was a blessing!  Why the door to the toilet in the main bathroom was clear with some small bands of frosting is anyone's guess. The mini bar was filled with our choice of water and pop (soda) so we did not need to buy any water on board. The water in all dining venues was cold and tasty.

Our guide was fluent in English and very knowledgeable about the area. Our junk boat was clean and the lunch was delicious. The small boat rowed out to the floating village was beyond belief!  The day was misting and cool but it was everything we hoped for.

This tour was another hit and I highly recommend it!  Our guide spoke excellent English and was very knowledgeable about Hue. He kept us entertained with stories and answered all of our questions thoughtfully.

This was the one independent tour that I can only describe was okay. The tour guide had poor English skills, had trouble understanding us and even more trouble explaining what we were seeing. Fortunately, we knew what we had come to see so it was still okay. Our guide and driver were polite and accommodating.

We paid for the NCL booked shuttle bus to the beach but the driver got lost thereby adding another 15 to 20 minutes onto our drive...

Another big hit!  Our guide was excellent, spoke excellent English and, despite the enormous crowds, she managed to get through to allow us to easily see the sights. Lunch was fabulous and the sights were awe inspiring!

Another great excursion, our guide (who spoke excellent English) took us to some places that were not big tourist attractions, thereby avoiding the enormous crowds. We did end up seeing a couple of the main attractions at the end of the tour when the crowds had died down. We loved seeing &quot;off the beaten path&quot; places - they were every bit as good as the things tourists think they want to see!

We had an excellent tour given that our guide (who's English was excellent) was wrangling 32 guests some of whom did not appear to think they needed to arrive on time nor stay with the group.

A waste of money and our time. We spent 45 minutes getting a coffee/tea with special toast that is supposed to be a staple of coffee houses in Singapore and another 35 minutes wandering around a park to take photos. It was a drive by & "look at the left, look at the right"; oops you missed it.

The meal at Azura was very good and I would highly recommend going to the free sit down venues over the buffet (where a couple of times when we ventured in, we were horrified by the noise and people eating right beside the food - presumably so they could go back for more immediately.Our butler and concierge were generally MIA unless we called and they both seem surprised that we hadn't asked to have something when we thought it would just be done (they only discovered that we were first time cruisers at the end of the trip and things might have been easier if we had volunteered that up front).
