Any recommended vaccines? Malaria?

Are you on the Sapphire? If so, so am I :)

Yes the Sapphire.

Where are you traveling from? When are you getting into Singapore?

My girlfriend and I are about to book the Malaysian/Indonesian cruise for next week. Have cruised 3 times with carnival in the past, are 25yo, traveling from Los Angeles.

Wondered if there was any tips or recommendations out there?

Cruise info? Travel advise? Airport transfer tips?

Anything would be really helpful, never been to Asia before either..

No, not at all similar... Princess is laid back versus the fun ship, especially on a longer cruise like this one.

 

You'll have an older demographic. Loads of trivia, ukulele and hula classes are offered. If you're looking for a high energy cruise, this isn't for you. If you enjoy spending time with each other, watching movies, watching the ocean, reading, etc., you'll be fine.

 

It's a fantastic cruise. I've taken it four times. If you think you're still interested, you'd better get that ocean view cabin as soon as possible!

 

Let me know if you have any other questions.

Thank you for the detailed response, couple questions if i may.

1. Comedy has always been a big hit for us.... we would go almost every night on Carnival. Is comedy every night on this cruise?

2. Have you taken an interior room cruise? Opinions vs obstructed ocean view?

Much appreciated!

Thanks for the tip!

would you say the onboard activities are similar to carnival?... if youve been on carnival...

Girlfriend and I have been on 3 Carnival cruises in the Carribbean and are looking at the 15 day Hawaii cruise in 1 week.

Biggest fears are:

Adverse weather on sea days limiting entertainment.

Potential lack of individuals our age... potentially to the extreame that we feel out of place.

Only "Obstructed View" ocean view rooms available... go interior?

Please help!

My girlfriend and I are considering the 15 day Hawaii cruise from Los Angeles on the Ruby Princess. We have done 3 prior cruises to the Caribbean, all on Carnival. We were looking for something a little longer than the 8 days we have done prior, as well as avoiding the flight to Florida.

However, on the forums it appears we may be severely in the age minority, as we are both 25 years old.

On Carnival, we do enjoy the sea days. By the pool, activities, trivia and such. Will we get this same experience?

Thoughts?
