Our trip back was on SQ J HKG-SIN-BNE. It was the first time we had used the airport link train from Kowloon to the airport, and what a seamless and perfect experience that was. Quick and efficient. The SQ lounge in Hong Kong was small, but excellent, and they made the perfect Singapore...

We had 6 nights in Hong Kong. Having been there numerous times before we had a pretty good idea of what we wanted to do. We explored the city highlights around the harbour, star ferry and Hong Kong itself. The peak tram was being refurbished and the smog/cloud cover was very low so we didn't...

A few days cruising to get to Hong Kong. The riots had just started a few weeks prior and we were a little concerned. Voyager of the Seas was an amazing ship with plenty to do, lots of areas to relax and entertainment galore. We did spend more time 'inside' on this cruise purely because of...

The next day in Chan May was pretty good. Apart from the heat the sights in and around the city were interesting. We experienced a pedal car/rickshaw around the street. This was the only time in my life I actually thought about the validity of my travel insurance whilst doing an activity in a...

The second and third ports were Nha Trang and Chan May. Again not passenger terminals and long transport times to anything. We did cultural tours again, and nothing out of the ordinary of what we expected. Some good interesting sites. Marble Mountain in Danang was pretty good, with buddha...

First Vietnam stop was Ho Chi Minh. Vietnam was the main point of this trip and this was an amazing day, take out the 3 hour bus trip to and from. The Cu Chi tunnels were an amazing site. This is something I had read about, watched on documentaries etc... but I don't really think you can...

I feel a little embarrassed about starting a trip report and not finishing it in a timely manner. We finished this trip and then I was straight into a month plus of continuous travel for work. I am currently sitting on a VA flight BNE-MEL to try and enjoy a work free long weekend exploring the...

Today we docked in Bangkok at the cargo terminal. We are on Voyager of the Seas and this is the only dock in Bangkok that has the size to berth this ship. The first day was a sea day and we spent most of it exploring the ship and taking a few photos. Honestly Bangkok was not on our destination...

Our room is on level 9 overlooking the gardens on the bay. I have stayed here numerous times, both on higher floors and the lower floors. I would recommend the lower floors, you look straight out to the gardens on the bay rather than over the top of them. This gives you a real good perspective...

With only one full day in Singapore it was up early for a swim and a few photos in the infinity pool at Marina Bay Sands.

BNE to SIN Singapore airlines A350-900 Arriving at Brisbane International right as check in opened we purchased some wine duty free (BNE International Parking gave us a $20 discount offer). We are allowed one bottle of wine each when we board the Voyager of the Seas in Singapore. Knowing the...

I got any flight option when I called them

I booked the BNE to SIN via velocity site. We originally were flying HKG to SYD on a J reward with VA. We decided to stay longer in Hong Kong and there were no VA J seats available when we wanted to return from HKG and nothing on their website for a return via Singapore. I called the VA...

Thanks Woodyren. We have spent some time in China before and we will expect some crowded pushing etc... but hey we are in their world and if you don’t like it don’t travel there. Really looking forward to the small differences on the cruise from others we have done with Royal.

Yes this is how it is advertised.

On Thursday we fly on a VA J reward flight Brisbane to Singapore on Singapore Airlines. After a few nights at the Marina Bay Sands we board Voyager of the Seas in a spaciousness balcony room midship. We have submitted a number of upgrade bids for suites but not fussed if they don’t come...

I signed up for this quite some time ago. We used Best Western as much as we could through mainland USA and Alaska and whilst not the most up market chain they were comfortable. We received welcome gifts at every hotels. The reward program for free nights is confusing and I haven’t tried to...

I have done 10 sectors in the past 3 weeks, all booked in the promo period and all have posted as double SC first go. Requalified for WP 5 months before anniversary date.

Hi, I am trying to arrange a trip to take my 22 year old son on. I have given him the opportunity to choose a destination (internationally or domestic) but he is so busy at work and just can’t get around to deciding. He is a huge Apple fan and I was thinking of a Silicon Valley tour to some...
