Live review from the Sapphire Princess! | Zig Zag Asia | 24 Jan - 8 Feb, 2018

-- Nha Trang, Vietnam --

 

After a rolling night on board, we anchored off Nha Trang, Vietnam. Princess had delivered our Vietnamese "day pass" cards which we had to get stamped on disembarkation by Vietnamese officials. Nha Trang is surrounded by islands, including Vinpearl which has a small amusement park on it!

 

This is a tender port (or 'water limousines' as the staff call them) and we met our tour group members on board prior to disembarking as to be on the same tender, and we managed to get on tender no. 3. We had booked a tour through Dung Pham, who had received high ratings on TripAdvisor. Following his instructions, we met our guide Hien who picked us up in a small van.

Hien was amusing and informative and his English was pretty good!

 

Nha Trang has been developing it's beachfront and gets a lot of Chinese and Russian tourists. We started at the Hindu temple complex along with another 100 or so fellow cruisers. Robes were provided free to borrow for those immodestly clad- shoulders or knees visible for women. Being only 10 in a small van, we were able to travel the back alleys and park close to sights- only to see the huge "Princess" bus parked in the distance.

 

We then walked down an alley, through a boat builders yard (not too big on occupational health and safety here) and hopped on a small boat for a ride down the Cai ("Lady") river, seeing people fishing and living their lives on the river's edge- sometimes in shanty conditions. We stopped at a private home where the women weave sleeping mats out the front on a wooden loom. We gave weaving a go with the womens' help but could do with another 60 years experience! They make 2 a day (around 4h labour per mat) from reeds that sell for $16 USD. We wished we could have taken some home with us, but Australian border regulations prohibit the grass product.

 

We stopped off at many other cottage industries; rice paper making, rice noodle making and conical hat making. One of the women stripping reeds for the hats was ninety years old and still going strong! We laughed as Hien explained that women do the crafting jobs at home because "men aren't patient enough!"

 

We also visited a Buddhist temple complex and orphanage that houses around 150 kids from age 3-12. It was good to see that the kids just went about their day rather than "performing" for the tourists. We watched on as they prayed and prepared lunch. The orphanage survives on donations but there was no pressure to contribute. We then drove up to see the "Big Buddha," a huge white statue set on a hillside. His eyes were looking down and seemed to follow you, a bit like the Mona Lisa of Buddhas!

 

We then were taken to see a traditional house, over 200 years old, followed by a delightful Vietnamese lunch by the river- free flowing drinks with beer included! We had spring rolls, fish, chicken, rice and vegetables, followed by a plate of rambutans and dragon fruit. It was all delicious and we were stuffed! Could get used to sipping coconuts by the riverside...

 

As it was a short day in port, we only had time to visit the silk embroidery factory before joining the queue for the tenders. The tour, inclusive of lunch, cost US $60 and was well worth it. For those interested, I cannot recommend Dung Pham tours highly enough- prompt replies to emails, great guides and tour and a fantastic day all round!

 

We finished off the evening by watching the International Staff Talent Show. We walked right into a theatre-wide balloon fight which set the tone! It was a hoot. Shoutout to Ted, our cruise director, who looked particularly fetching in a pink tutu. Keep reading below for our review of Ho Chi Minh City (Saigon)!

-- Ho Chi Minh City (Saigon), Vietnam --

 

With a second independent tour booked for today, we were rearing to see all that Saigon had to offer. Our tour today was through Smile Tours at US $85 a head. The ship docked early at Phu My at 7:15am this morning (thankfully in port, hooray for no tenders!) so it was an early rise and simple buffet breakfast. Four glasses of orange juice later, and we were on the port with our group ready to go.

 

Our tour guide, Ahn, had an incredible knowledge of Saigon and its history, as well as a great sense of humour. We knew from the get-go that we were in good hands. He explained outright that locals prefer the original name 'Saigon' as they resisted the change to 'Ho Chi Minh City,' and encouraged us to use Saigon. After 1.5h of driving the ever increasing density of motorbikes signalled that we were close to the city centre.

 

We first stopped at the Post Office and the Notre Dame Cathedral, two very impressive works of architecture that showcased significant French influence. From there we moved to a very cute and unique water puppet show, featuring various puppets dancing about on the water. It was great fun and worth the US $5 entry fee- even if only to gain bragging rights that you've seen dancing water puppets!

 

Our next stop was the War Remnants Museum. This offered a very critical insight into the pretence, state, and consequences of the Vietnam War. With only a brief 40 minutes allocated to the Museum visit, we made the most of our time by exploring the photo collection from the war, and looking at the restored military vehicles.

 

At this point we abandoned the bus in favour of trishaws, three wheeled bikes where you sit on the front and a driver pedals you, to pedal to Chinatown. I saw my life flash before my eyes several times as we steered through eight lanes of traffic, often going against the flow, and fitting between gaps that I didn't think possible. In the end however, we came out unscathed, and now have the pictures to prove what we did!

 

We arrived at a Chinese temple dedicated to the Goddess of the Sea (very appropriate for Princess Cruises!) and then headed off (by bus, thankfully) to lunch at Ngon. The word 'Ngon' means 'delicious' which was an apt name! We enjoyed spring rolls with noodle, lemongrass beef, and shrimp with sugarcane in rice paper rolls. Note- this was at our expense and came out to around US $30 for us two for more than we could eat.

 

With full bellies, we briefly stopped off at the Ben Than Markets for some shopping. Perfect for some "100% genuine" known-brand tees, wallets, bags, and shoes. Prices start high but can be haggled down to half or even a third if you're up to it. We scored a fold away "Kathmandu" back pack, shoulder bag, and Nike sports tee for a fraction of the cost of the real things.

 

After a jam-packed day it was time to head back to the ship. Back on board, the balloon artist SYAN put on an evening show which was mesmerising. Then after a dinner of mushroom tartlet and roast duck breast, we let the, uh, 'gentle' rolling of the waves rock us to sleep. Looking forward to a very relaxing day at sea today.

Hi there, We are on the Sapphire in May. Has anyone mentioned about what they are going to do to the ship when it goes into dry dock soon.

Hi Marty, unfortunately we haven't heard any detailed information about what's happening in dry dock. We've only heard the rumours of upgraded luxury mattresses. Sorry we can't be of more help here!

We also used Smile Tours when we where there with Princess several years ago. Our group was very happy with the tour they provided.

[moyimoyi]

Hi Trudi, how long does the water puppet show take? Was it chartered by Smile Tours exclusively? Thanks!

[AF-1]

great pics of your last two port calls. Thanks for posting

[Oztpot]

Hi Trudi, how long does the water puppet show take? Was it chartered by Smile Tours exclusively? Thanks!

 

The water puppet show was meant to take 30 minutes all up, but because of the volume of tour groups coming through we saw a half-length show which went for 15 mins.

 

It want exclusive to Smile tours, we went to the National Museum which had the show open to the public :-)

[Feebarn]

Thank you for your lovely review.

 

Can I ask you about the club class dining? How are they arranging it on the Sapphire. Are there club class areas in each dining room, or do you have to go to one specific location?

 

Thanks in advance :)

Club Class is offered in one of the dining rooms. They mark off an area and you have a separate entrance. It is only limited to one dining room.

[NSWP]

Question if I may, is the first sitting Traditional Dining being maintained at 6pm ? Or has it been moved to an earlier time as often happens.

 

We are on 1st sitting on Sapphire in a few months, set for 6pm, but if it is coming on earlier we may have to re think some shorex. etc.

 

Thank you.:D

Thanks much! Looking forward to your review of Bangkok and Ko Samui.

[Jo and Rob]

Thanks for the review.

We are sailing the Norwegian fjords up to the Arctic Circle in the summer on Sapphire Princess so your comments about the ship are really helpful.

 

How good is the Teens club? We have a 13 and 16 year old on our cruise.

 

Have you used the indoor pool? What is it like?

 

Do you help yourself to pool towels on deck? We travel with different companies and I can't remember what Princess do.

 

Have you seen any Movies under the stars? Are they repeated on the television after?

 

Do they still sing happy birthday in the restaurant. We have two birthdays on board.

many thanks

I can answer these 2 parts, yes you help yourself to pool towels and yes they still sing happy birthday in the restaurant.

Hi Les,

 

We were on Sapphire Princess in January and yes, 1st Sitting has been moved forward to 5.30pm which made it a problem for some shore excursions, but also a little early for a pre-dinner drink.

 

During our cruise the International was dedicated 1st/2nd Traditional, however the Vivaldi was Traditional 1st, then went to Open after that. We were in the Vivaldi and as a result of the 1st/Open structure the Head Waiter said that if we were late from an Excursion it shouldn't be too much of a problem to come in late as there was no need to swap the tables over for a 2nd sitting. He did say that if we were too late then he might not be able to guarantee 'our' table. After he told us this we let him (and our table waiter) know if we were going to be late and about when we would be in - didn't seem to be a problem. Not sure this would have worked in the International with a more rigid 1st/2nd regime though. I think communication was the key.

 

Hope that helps. Really enjoyed Sapphire Princess. I have read some of the reviews posted on the 'Review's Board' basically for the same cruise that we were on and wonder if people were on a different ship!! We had a great time and found the crew to be as attentive as ever with none of the 'issues' that others have raised in some reviews, reading this thread though it seems just like I am back on board!!

 

Cheers,

Hi David,

 

I appreciate your reply, which has clarifed the 1st sitting issue I raised. We will stick with first sitting in MDR, either Vilvadi or International MDR's as you outlined. If we are too late back we will do the buffet, but checking our booked shorex only a couple arriving back late. Don't worry we won't starve.

 

I am a Coeliac - gluten intolerant so order my GF dinner items from menu via Head Waiter the night before. Any Time Dining is not much good to us as they would have trouble finding me with my order. All up we are on Sapphire Princess x 2 B2B and then Royal Princess. All from/to Southampton.

 

Good to hear your views on the ship, we go with the flow, I don't read too much into Princess ship reviews. We have never had a bad cruise, couple of ordinary ones but most good to excellent.

 

Thanks again and happy cruising to you.:halo:

Hi everyone, thank you for all the well wishes and the discussion which has been very interesting to read. Currently relaxing at a Koh Samui resort after the most amazing cooking class (which we will review in detail later on!) with free WiFi. Here's the view...

 

 

Many thanks to those helping answer questions. Regarding the unanswered questions:

 

How good is the teens club?

 

Hi there- Chloe (the 17 yo daughter) here. I have to admit, being 17 with only one other 17yo on board, I am yet to really get into the activities hosted by the teens club. I can assure you though that the clubs make every effort to host activities even with a small number of teens on boar. Earlier in the thread I posted the 'teen patter' which gives a good idea of the sort of activities onboard. The facilities in the Beach House (teen club for ages 13-17) are pretty decent including Xbox and Wii, and fooseball. Last night there was a Rock the Boat teens party in Skywalkers Nightclub but I gave that one a miss so unfortunately can't tell you how it was. Hope your teens enjoy the cruise!

 

Have you used the indoor pool? What is it like?

 

The indoor pool is our favourite! Music isn't too obnoxiously loud, there's a bar and many food places nearby, and there's two levels of deck chairs. The pool itself is lovely, always clean, not too busy, and of course two fantastic bubbly hot tubs next to the pool itself. On some of the recent rougher sea days, the pool turned into a big wave pool as the boat rocked! It was good fun to swim/watch people try to swim when that happened.

 

We agree with everything smokey01 said regarding the other qs.

 

-- Sihanoukville, Cambodia --

 

We were up before dawn to watch the Sapphire dock in Sihanoukville. It was a refreshing morning with a lovely sea breeze.

 

Today we went on a private tour with a small local company called AYA. As we were docked in a container port, free shuttles were provided to the port entrance or into the market a few miles away. Princess did all the formalities, we just had to carry a photocopy of our passport with us which wasn't checked.

 

We were met by our air conditioned van and friendly guide Ra. The poverty in Sihanoukville was more pronounced than in Vietnam and there was a lot more rubbish lying around. Our first stop was our guide's local fishing village where he works as a fisherman when not escorting tourists. There were wooden fishing boats and rickety jetties and small simple houses, dogs, chickens and kids. When we asked what one of the men were fishing for, he opened up a small plastic bag which contained fresh seahorses! Ra explained that they would be dried and ground up for medicine.

 

We then went on to an ornate Buddhist temple complex which was inhabited by some cheeky monkeys (they stole a tourist's phone which was rescued by one of the locals)! It's easy to feel 'templed out' by the end of an Asian cruise but this one was particularly interesting. Some may find the large number of beggars and beggar children confronting so be prepared for this if you are visiting.

 

After 30 minutes of driving over a very rough, bumpy dirt road, we arrived at a waterfall hidden out of the main town. It quickly became apparent that this is a local hot spot and locals come here to relax and for the kids to swim in the shallow pools. A lady was cooking a giant pot of snails seasoned with lemongrass, herbs and sugar and roasting fish, frogs (!) and small birds on a grill. Ra found a ripe jackfruit, promptly picked it off the tree, and cut us pieces of the unusual tasting yellow flesh to try. The waterfalls were an absolute hidden gem, beautiful and no barriers or restrictions on how close you could get. Ra kept repeating 'walk carefully' as one wrong step could see you 10m down in the river below!

 

The central markets were next- and were extra busy before the upcoming New Year celebrations. Crowded and smelly, the markets were not for the faint of heart or delicate stomach. All manner of crabs, squid, prawns and fish, fruits, vegetables, spices, snacks, clothes household goods and souvenirs were tightly packed into the area. No spacious, air conditioned supermarkets in Sihanoukville!

 

Our lunch stop was at the Starfish Project, a cafe/ bakery and handcrafts shop run by the Polio-affected individuals. The food was Western style, homemade, and served in massive portions, The bread was made from rice flour and a unfamiliar purple colour, but tasted delicious. A can of local beer was $1:75 US! Best of all, it has a western style toilet! We were very impressed with the tour company's choice to bring business to the foundation as it is a cause worth supporting.

 

We drove past the golden lion statues and local beaches on the way back to the ship. The development of certain areas became more apparent, noticeable the Chinese funded casinos along the waterfront. I think the place will look very different in 5 year time! All in all, a wonderful day out. After being warned by others about the poor state of the city, we had set the bar low, but instead we were very pleasantly surprised with the beauty within Sihanoukville and all it had to offer. In particular, we would highly recommend the AYA tour. It made for a third very successful independent tour!

 

Now, for the photos...

-- Laem Chabang (Pattaya/Bangkok), Thailand --

 

What a day we had today! After a busy last couple of days, we settled for the ship's shuttle bus service to Bayview Hotel in central Pattaya. The ship pulled into port at 7:00am, and we enjoyed a leisurely breakfast as a majority of passengers had to leave early for the two hour drive into Bangkok. Unfortunately we docked in a container port, so there weren't any braggable views!

 

In the last year, Thailand have implemented a new face-to-face immigration check requirement which is held off shore and mandatory for all passengers. It required we take our passports and Thailand immigration card, which a Thai passport officer stamped and checked, taking all of 2 or 3 minutes. Luckily a pain free process. It's important to note that each passenger is allocated a timing slot from around 7:30am - 10:00am, but they didn't seem to restrict by these time slots at all. Particularly those with private tours went earlier than their allocated time.

 

The first shuttle bus left at 8:30am to Pattaya, then left approx every hour from then. We hopped on around 9:30am and enjoyed the 20 minute drive into Pattaya, Thailand's second largest city after Bangkok. The traffic was organised chaos, so a little more forgiving than Saigon and Sihanoukville. The hotel staff were more than happy to help us out with anything including booking metered taxis. We were allowed to use the hotel's pool, restaurant, and lobby amenities, and wifi was available for 100 Baht (~ US $3) for 24h.

 

Instead we opted to take a stroll along the beach front and scout out the surrounding shops. We shopped at many of the small markets set up which had the usual souvenirs, genie pants, t-shirts, and artworks, as well as these gorgeous little soaps which we couldn't resist buying!

 

The main shopping precincts opened at 11am so we stopped off for ice cream to pass the time. I had rose and chocolate 'Valentines' flavour while Chloe had Milo and condensed milk flavour! The main shopping centre, Central Festival, was a unique combo of market-esque stalls (sectioned off in 'The Asian Bazaar') as well as many designer and western brands such as H&M and Chanel, with western prices to match. We did, however, stumble across the food court to end all food courts! It was a heaven of hawker-style Thai food, Thai dessert bars, confectionery shops and many many fresh fruit stalls. We couldn't resist buying some mango toffees and mini macarons (not authentic Thai but very cute and inexpensive nonetheless), as well as some unidetified sweets which turned out to be citrus flavoured.

 

The shops in the food court operated on a card system where you go to a card counter and have money loaded on to a card (at no additional fees) then pay using the card. After picking out our lunch of 'Knife-Cutting fried pork fillet' we loaded exactly 50 Baht (~US $1.50) onto the card to buy lunch. It was absolutely delicious- you wouldn't guess it was less than $2! For dessert we couldn't go past a Hello Kitty donut which, while admittedly far from authentic Thai, was adorable and only 19 Baht (~ US 50¢)!

 

At this point all shops were in full swing so we bought our fair share of souvenirs, flowy pants and tops, and silky table cloths. We once again strolled by the beach on our way back to the shuttle bus, taking in the beautiful sunshine and blue skies that have seemingly followed us through our holiday! If you remember back to our Singapore post, our attempt to score a Singapore Sling in Raffles was unfortunately cut short by the renovations of the hotel. So today when we walked past a beach front bar advertising cocktails for 80 Baht (~US $2.5), including the famous Singapore Sling, we pulled up two chairs. I'm not sure what the real Slings taste like, but for $2.50 this one went down well!

We luckily juuust made it to the hourly shuttle bus before it left (running after cocktails not recommended) clutching bags of shopping. Back at the ship, cups of tea with mini macarons went down beautifully. Looking forward to sampling even more of all that Thai food has to offer tomorrow at our cooking class in Ko Samui!

Thank you for taking the time to share your experiences! We are considering booking a similar cruise next year and you have already answered one of my questions about what happens mid trip when the ship returns to Singapore. Did you keep the same cruise card for the entire cruise? And also were the charges applied to the same folio so that you'll only get a single bill at the end of the trip? Or did you start over with a new cruise card and will there be a second folio for the second part of the trip? Thanks again for sharing, and I hope you keep enjoying your cruise!

Hi Les,

 

My wife has a fructose intolerance which also means wheat is an issue for her so she sticks to a GF diet even though she is not Coeliac. I raise this as we were late back one night and asked at Alffredo's Pizza in the Plaza whether they did a GF base, they do, so that is an option if you choose as well. They will make any of the Pizza's with a GF base.

 

Cheers and enjoy.

 

Cheers,

[Shiprobbo]

Oztpot & Chloe,

 

My wife and I did a very similar B2B cruise on Sapphire Princess over New Year and into January, we left the ship in Singapore on 21st January. Reading your comprehensive review is just like doing it all over again - and it is nearly as enjoyable as actually being there, thanks for taking the time in your busy days to make the posts.

 

My apologies too if I have hijacked your posts with my replies to Les (NSWP), just there were a couple of points I thought I could assist with, but I do know that hijacking is annoying for the OP so again, my apologies.

 

Hope you continue to enjoy your trip and have a good trip home.

 

Cheers,

[NSWP]

Thanks David, yes I have had the pizzas with GF base on Princess several times. Quite good, even better with a glass of red.:halo: Thanks for advice. Interesting blog this one.

Hi, when you have time would you let us know if there was a charge for the shuttle to Pattaya. I will be on the Majestic next month and we will stop at same port. Thanks.

I go on this ship in September for the first time. Are the hot tubs actually hot and do the jets work? Too often on a cruise I find them to cool and/or not bubbly enough. So hoping by your description they are decent?

[moyimoyi]

Do they offer shuttle bus service in Koh Samui like the one in Pattaya? Thanks!
