Chloebags Posted September 5, 2009 #1 Share Posted September 5, 2009 Other half has just said that he wants to go to the Far East/Asia next year and that he is going to pay for it (I know I am a very lucky lady)!!!!!:D:D:D:D Now I am so excited but I have come across a magor stumbling block, I dont know where or which company to look at for the cruises. Any advice on people who do these cruises would be greatly appreciated, also since he is paying for it I am not going to look at the the ,ost expensive , but I don need basic outylook. We have cruised with Carnival last year and we will be again this November, but as far as I can find out they dont do Asia. Only one other thing is that we are needing to leave from Gatwick, London Thank you all in advance for your advice Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aquahound Posted September 5, 2009 #2 Share Posted September 5, 2009 It depends on when you want to go. I know that Royal Caribbean, Princess, and Costa do those routes. Royal Caribbean has the Legend of the Seas, Rhapsody of the Seas, and Brilliance of the Seas in that area. Brilliance would be my choice because she is the newest of the group and the most gorgeous. I believe she has a route departing from Dubai. Princess has the Diamond Princess over there. This would be another excellent choice. I'm not sure what ships Costa runs, but they would be m last choice. I have not cruised them, but they just do not appeal to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is a repositioning cruise at a great price for a 22 day cruise on an excellent ship. You will see Vancouver, Alaska, Russia, Japan, Korea and China. In my opinion, for the money, you cannot do better than this cruise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paul929207 Posted September 5, 2009 #5 Share Posted September 5, 2009 We dd a 16 day cruise on the Pacific Princess four years ago from Beijing to Bangkok. We loved it. I believe the Diamond Princess does that route now. Also, the Ocean Princess will start life in Asia the winter and spring. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Only one other thing is that we are needing to leave from Gatwick, London Thank you all in advance for your advice I think Princess are a very good company when I was in Singapore in March the Diamond Princess pulled in next to us on an Asian run. I had prev travelled on her that Christmas and it was excellent with great people onboard. From November there are cruises in 2010 they might take you on the run to Australia or begin in USA? depending on the schedule The superstar ships Virgo etc all are excellent I believe from cruise pals who have travelled on them. Good luck !! cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
