    For the shore excursions, did you book from the ship or did you book the private at the deck? If you stayed overnight Ho Chi Minh and Bangkok, did you make hotel reservations on your own?

      @@jamesw3211 Hi James, we took all tours just from the port independent tour operators. The ship excursions were expensive and we didn’t pre-book online. Just right from the port, there were quite a few tour operators and they will show you their itinerary and the prices. Pay only after the tour and back to the port! Hope this helps!

      Thanks for watching and commenting! Yes for the Ha Long Bay cruise tour that includes boat and caves tour. Ship excursions were expensive but you could walk to the Ha Long cruise terminal inside and there are counters that sell boat rides and caves tour at really low prices! Two or three itineraries at different times duration and prices. Hope that helps!
      Thanks again Sue!

      @ Hi Anthea, you are welcome! We are happy to share our experience! Thanks for watching and commenting! On our channel, there are videos on Hong Kong Budget Travel Part-1 which have details on Hong Kong Airbnb at Tsim Sha Tsui area along Nathan Road and very close to Tsim Sha Tsui’s MTR station! But the unit is very small! If you watch the video you will notice that the area is fantastic! Close to major tourist attractions and restaurants & cafes! As for Singapore, stay around Marina Bay and Orchard Road area are best places but expensive! Mid-range budget still have at smaller hotels and Inns. Chinatown & Central Business District also offers great accommodation! Best is find a hotel close to MRT(Subway) making your travel around Singapore so much easier! Very safe to travel by MRT and friendly & easy to get around everywhere in Singapore! And give yourself an extra 2 to 3 hours to visit Singapore Changi Airport before departure! So much to see and shop and eat in the airport! Hope this helps! Please don’t hesitate if you need more information! Thanks!

    Hi Cindy & Tony, thanks for sharing this video. I am taking this cruise in November. Just find out the port of calls are far from the city. Do you recommend to stay in the city for the two ports that offered overnight stay? Do you return to the ship each night? I saw another clip from another traveller, she mentioned from Vung Tau to Ho Chi Minh City is 4 hours by bus (one way), is it worth to travel to the city?

      @@saraquach4182 Hi Sara, sorry for the late reply! If you could join the local tour operators at the ports will be so much better, saving a lot of time on public transportation and visits more places through few cities! It’s really reasonable tour prices and if you’re only a couple, you could join with another couple to even save more as we did! Hope this helps! Have a great cruise!
