Although it has been less then a week since I have been on the ship, it is great to be back here. There have been a lot of changes as far as the crew is concerned, but they are wonderful. No complaints from me. Since I have been in this area before, I am not taking the popular shore excursions but have enjoyed the ones I have done. I did the Halong Bay by Junk in Hong Gai and it was worth climbing the 100 steps to see the limestone and dolomite formations. In Nha Trang I did the Rural Life that was most enjoyable. I am sure that the people who went to Hanoi will have more to say about that excursion.We are in saigon now and I opted to do shopping here but there is certainly lots to see if one has not been here before. Can't say enough good things about this ship and I hope that someday, you will be able to enjoy it for yourself. It is so nice to come back to see so many familiar faces.IMO Regent continues to do a great job.
