We did our first 'long-haul' flight to join 'The Spirit of Adventure' in Bangkok in February. We were not looking forward to the flights - but they were worth it. We had a fantastic cruise - the destinations were all excellent and the service we received, both on-board and on our (included) excursions were first class. The food was the best we have had on a cruise ship and the cabin was nice - though not luxurious.
