Rare Silver Spectre Posted January 25, 2019 Author #7 Share Posted January 25, 2019 61 guests, mostly English and American, and 10 Germans. The Cruise Director is Belgium. The WiFi is Guest WiFi is pretty non existent, no chance of connecting to anything useful. The vessel is quite nice, with friendly staff, and to go with the 5 different groups onboard we have three local Vietnamese guides. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Silver Spectre Posted January 26, 2019 Author #8 Share Posted January 26, 2019 Yesterday after failing to connect we were allowed to use a second WiFi system that is a little more reliable, but only works just outside Reception, and better when moored. So basic posting will now work but photos are a challenge. Today we have disembarked our three Vietnamese guides after visiting Tan Chau and are travelling up river and through the Cambodian border, on our way to Phnom Phen.

Rare Silver Spectre Posted January 26, 2019 Author #9 Share Posted January 26, 2019 After a 4 hour wait on the river at the border we are now cleared to proceed upriver and have embarked a couple of Cambodian police who will carry out a face to face inspection at 8am tomorrow morning.
