Last year we docked in Busan at the terminal you see in the right of this picture. The large building on the left is the maritime museum. There is not much else in the port region. I did not take an excursion because I was just getting over an illness. I did take the shuttle into the city and walked around. From what I understand there is at least one market and some historic sights within walking distance of the shuttle drop off point. Be sure to get your own maps (I just looked and could not find any map from Cunard for Busan) and figure out where you want to go. There was a place to exchange money on the quay as well as a couple of souvenir stands that accepted US$.
Thanks for the feedback!

Hello Petra & Don.
I have done the tour to Ho Chi Minh with Cunard and it was great.
Last year I was on QE for the world cruise and we took a Cunard tour in Busan as this was one port of call we had never been before. It was one of the best tours we have a had. We had a wonderful time. I recommend it ;)
Too much to write about here so read what I did on the link below. Have a great cruise.
Thanks so much this was very helpful!

Well, one week to go and we can finally concentrate on the fine details.....
We'd like to ask for some input from anyone on board if you don't mind.....
We tend to be independent travelers willing to walk 5-7k to take in a town, so we approach shore excursions from that perspective. That said, we are going to go with the ship excursion to Ho Chi Minh because we are always worried about getting stuck too far from the ship on an independent trip and not getting back on board in time. However, that leaves us with 2 decisions re: Busan and Nha Trang. We've pre-booked, but willing to explore other options...Has anyone been there before? Any adventurous types on board who like to explore on their own? Any thoughts would be appreciated,
Thanks,
Petra & Don

CC meets are usually the first sea day at the start of the sector.

Thanks for replying.:) Sorry for the delay in my response, we're scrambling to get everything done here before coming to join the ship, and the days are ticking by pretty quickly.
I do hope we have a chance to meet fellow CCer's before Hong Kong, as that will be halfway through our trip!:confused: We'll be arriving one day prior to boarding in Yokohama, so we'll have a chance to do a little exploring before we get settled in on board.
Anywhere else CCer's connect other than the laundrette?:)

I hope you don't mind us barging in, but you look like you have it all together:)
We've just opened this thread as we will be joining the QE in Japan on March 18, and we were looking for fellow CCer's aboard. Will there be a meeting in one of the lounges around that date for those of us joining you there?
Thanks so much for your input,
Petra & Don

Sooo glad you posted this, we are so grateful! As soon as we read it we contacted Cunard to confirm the change, and they knew nothing about it! We fly out tomorrow 10:30 am from Toronto, no internet access after that, and we would have arrived at the Yokohama pier totally freaked out. We immediately booked a hotel in Kobe, but we held off arranging a flight to Kobe until we had confirmation from Cunard, of course now you can't get through on the line at all....
