Overview: 3 smiles - Too many at sea days - got a bit boring even for me there is only so much sun baking one can do.
Cost: 3 smiles - just under $10K
Bangkok, Vietnam, Singapore, Brunei, Darwin, Port Douglas, Sydney - 5 Countries
So about $250 per person/day for 19 days including:
While we got the cruise at a great price most everything else was at top dollar and of course the at sea days rack up the drinks and other costs while on the boat.
I suppose now we have just about been everywhere in Asia so overall it was a good way to see these areas - I can now tick off this and except for Singapore I doubt any of the other places we would go back to, so from that perspective it was good value.

Diamond Princess:
Probably too big for our liking, just too many people and we were still getting lost on the last day as we had to meet in a bar we had not been before. The boat was beautiful though. We did however learn a lot about cruising that we had not realised before
a) check the ports - Darwin and Port Douglas were pretty uninspiring especially after so many days at sea
b) check the amount of at sea days - 4 days is pretty boring unless you want to drink all day or play silly deck games, go to shows etc
c) check the size of the boat and how many people it holds - our last cruise was 500 people but this one was full at 3000 people too many for my liking
