I just received the latest brochure on the World Cruise. There is a change in the itinerary. On Segment #3 they have taken out Taipai and substituted Naha (Okinawa). This sounds good to me. Some other new things, I haven't confirmed yet. All good news.

Welcome to the Board, Irv!

I would think Naha is 10 times more interesting than Taipei...Taipei is way too industrial to be pinturesque, unless one is heavily into that.


Perhaps travel cannot prevent bigotry, but by demonstrating that all peoples cry, laugh, eat, worry, and die, it can introduce the idea that if we try and understand each other, we may even become friends ~~M. Angelou~~

I don't remember the port in Naha being big enough to take a cruise ship like Voyager. Tenders, maybe? Though my memory could be faulty as well.

In Bangkok we have a "comped" overnight stay at the Shangri-La Hotel but this is also the date given for the overnight excursion to Angkor Wat (March 9th). I guess a decision must be made. Any thoughts on this??

We had the same excursion to the Shangri La in Bangkok from the Mariner cruise last year. It's a beautiful hotel and well worth going back especially since it's included in our fare. Missing it and spending a couple of thousand dollars for a one night in Angkor Wat doesn't make too much sense to us. We're planning another trip in the near future which will include Angkor Wat and Yangon, etc. We were at the famous pagoda in Yangon four years ago and it is really something to see.
