Kazza1 Posted December 1, 2005 #201 Share Posted December 1, 2005 Im sure it will be great. We picked N611 because its my husbands birthday and we really wanted to see the land divers at Pentecost. I was just looking at the specials brochure from the T/A and I got a great deal when I booked. As someone said on this site (I think it was Kaseyoz) if it costs about $100 a night its a great deal. We come in at $108 a night. :D Kazza Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

karmac Posted December 1, 2005 #204 Share Posted December 1, 2005 after reading the last few pages of this thread it appears we all libe around the same area........ By the way I live at Canley heights. That brings us back to (I think) Dan's question a couple of weeks ago "Who's up for a Christmas get together?"

karmac Posted December 1, 2005 #205 Share Posted December 1, 2005 Hey everyone! Hey Karen hows your leg? Dan Much better today thanks Dan. By the time I went to bed last night I had visions of me going to hospital today because I really thought I may have broken something but when I got up this morning I was amazed at how good it felt. It obviously needed some rest. I did it about 10.30 yesterday morning, went to bed around midnight and was never really off it. I had to be at school all day today (doing a bbq) and was on my feet all day so expected to be in pain when I got home but it wasn't that bad. I even went linedancing tonight although I didn't do any dancing, just drinking. Karen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

saraheg77 Posted December 3, 2005 #212 Share Posted December 3, 2005 Hi Narelle - how did you enjoy Bangkok? We will have 2 days there on our Feb/Mar cruise. Did you do any great excursions?? Sarah :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NARELLE Posted December 5, 2005 #213 Share Posted December 5, 2005 sarah, we actually spent a week there. We had a 3 day stay at River Kwai. went elephant riding and river rafting. Unfortunately you wont have time to do that in the short time. Word of warning if you aren't aware when the ship goes to Laem Chabang it is approx 2.5 hour drive to Bangkok. The same at K.L. if you are going there. We are doing B2B so going to both places. If you are going to do your own thing in Bangkok, we went down to the river pier and paid a couple of dollars for a boat ticket. It is the one that locals use. You cld travel up ann down the river all day on the one ticket. There were approx 13 different places it stopped - temples, museums, chinatown etc on the way and you just got on and off when the next long tailed boat pulled in. A most inexpensive way to get around without expensinve shore tours. we also spent a bit of time in the MBK centre shopping. Taxi's to get around a really cheap and metered whereas you can get ripped off if you get a Tuk Tuk be careful to bargain with them. One night we had gone to the Patpong night markets and decided to get a Tyuk Tuk back to say we had a ride in one. He wanted 500 Baht when I had only paid 60 Baht in a taxi to get there. Finally he bartered down to about 50-60 baht for the ride which wld have been half the distance as we had walked about 1 mile already back. When we go in September we are contemplating staying the night in a hotel to get maximum time because of distance back to the port. I think the ship sails about 4pm the next day so cut very short by travelling. Narelle Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
saraheg77 Posted December 9, 2005 #214 Share Posted December 9, 2005 Hi Narelle, Thanks for the info! No, I didn't realize it was that far to Bangkok. I have to do a bit more research to figure out what we can do. Thanks for your suggestions! Yeah, we have heard there isn't a ton to do in a couple of the ports where we stop, but we will figure it out and have fun!! Thanks again!
