Far East Cruise Nov-Dec 2014

Read Time:1 Minute, 27 Second

So, we’re off on our travels again, this time a mix of cruise and fly. This is also a first for us in that we have temporarily abandoned the Cruise & Maritime small cruise ships (720 passengers or less) and have booked on the Sapphire Princess, part of the Princess Cruise line, with a complement of 2,670 passengers and 1,100 crew.

The itinerary is as follows:

16th Nov 14 – Depart London Heathrow for Abu Dhabi (Flight EY12)
16 Nov 14 – Depart Abu Dhabi for Hong Kong (Flight EY4122)
17 Nov 14 – Cosmo Hotel, Hong Kong
18 Nov 14 – Leisure day in Hong Kong
19 Nov 2014 – Embark Sapphire Princess
20 Nov 14 – At sea
21 Nov 14 – At sea
22 Nov 14 – Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam
23 Nov 14 – At Sea
24 Nob 14 – Bangkok
25 Nov 14 – At Sea
26 Nov 14 – At Sea
27 Nov 14 – Singapore. Disembark Sapphire Princess. Hotel Lavender for 1 night.
28 Nov 14 – Singapore to Phuket (Flight 3K535). Accommodation at Best Western Ocean Resort Karon Beach
29 Nov 14 – Phuket (Best Western Ocean Resort)
30 Nov 14 – Phuket (Best Western Ocean Resort)
01 Dec 14 – Phuket (Best Western Ocean Resort)
02 Dec 14 – Phuket to Abu Dhabi (Flight EY431)
03 Dec 14 – Abu Dhabi to London Heathrow (Flight EY11)

So 4th December it’s holiday over and back to the UK winter. I just hope it’s not going to be too much of a shock to the system after the humid heat of the Far East.

I’m a life-long learner with an insatiable curiosity about life. I love travel, good food, and good company. I’m happy to share what I know with others….even the interesting stuff! My outlook on life is pretty well captured in this quote from a book about the legend of King Arthur: “The best thing for being sad,” replied Merlin, beginning to puff and blow, “is to learn something. That’s the only thing that never fails. You may grow old and trembling in your anatomies, you may lie awake at night listening to the disorder of your veins, you may miss your only love, you may see the world about you devastated by evil lunatics, or know your honour trampled in the sewers of baser minds. There is only one thing for it then — to learn. Learn why the world wags and what wags it. That is the only thing which the mind can never exhaust, never alienate, never be tortured by, never fear or distrust, and never dream of regretting. Learning is the only thing for you. Look what a lot of things there are to learn.” ― T.H. White, The Once and Future King So much to learn, so little time!
