Sorry we can't be with you on this one. I believe it has two stops in Vietnam and that's fantastic, having sailed into it twice. If this is your first, you are going to love it. And if it's a repeat then you know you will love it again. One of the most fun things we did in Na Thrang is bypass the buses and hire the bicycle cabs at the far end of the dock to take you into town. You not only get a more vista view in this leisure trip, you have a sense of history in doing it. Have a wonderful trip

Hi Ron & Jon

Thanks for your post.

Very surprised haven't found any other FOD on CruiseMates for this cruise. Have found one on CruiseCritic.

Love travelling by "Cyclo" in Vietnam as long as you negotiate and have fixed agreement up front. They are re-knowned for ripping tourists off and changing the price as soon has they get you a little off the beaten track. Had less than pleasant experience in Saigon in 1999.

Only a little over a week to go and looking forward to our first "ocean" cruise.
