Cruise Line Excursions. 9 Reasons Not To Do Them!

…the ship to a destination. For example in Taiwan, we docked far away from Taipei. It was a simple excursion that took you from the ship to a central meeting point, left you there for a couple of hours to explore, then picked you up and took you back.

Cathay Pacific Review: 1st Class London – Hong Kong

…lew with them again from London Heathrow via Hong Kong but this time on to Taipei in Taiwan. On both these trips I was lucky enough to be flying in their First Class cabin.

I think one of the reasons that I was more impressed this year was the aircraft this time was a Boeing 747 versus an Airbus last year.
