Thank you Emma. We travelled in November. We were told at some point on the cruise by one of the guides that there were three seasons in that part of the world: hot season, hotter season, and hottest season. Luckily for us November was the hot season and I believe that it runs from November to April so you should get it as well although the temperature was obviously dropping as we were there and the humidity decreasing whereas you’ll be experiencing the opposite as you’re coming into spring.

The humidity was incredible. You’re going to love the air conditioning on the ship, that’s for certain. Your first Princess cruise, I recall? You may need to make use of the laundromat a few times unless you’ve got many changes of clothing but be aware that it gets busy on sea days; the dryers in particular tend to be difficult to get because a lot of people will wash one batch but then need two dryer runs to get everything dry as they’re not that efficient.

Your photos are incredible!

What time of year did you travel? I am not looking forward to the humidity. I’m travelling in April.
