25 Nights - Coral Princess (Singapore, Thailand, Vietnam, Hong Kong, Taiwan, South Korea, Japan)

Spring 2026, 25 Night cruise on the Coral Princess
(Singapore, Thailand, Vietnam, Hong Kong, Taiwan, South Korea, Japan)

We booked with Costco after Lynn saw multiple Thailand and Vietnam stops on this cruise (on our bucket list) during a time period we were open. It is also shortly after my birthday and during Lynn's, so here is our present to each other. This cruise also had multiple Japan stops which Lynn and I enjoyed on our 2024 Asia cruise.

The cruise was $10,044 for an inside room. We had to give a $800 deposit, but it is refundable until 120 days before (Nov. 20,2025). We get $755 Digital Costco Shop Card after sailing, due to booking with Costco travel. It was $5,200 more for a balcony, so we didn't think it was worth it to us, and we have a lot of other cruises booked we need to pay for. Lynn will also still be elite status, due to our purchased upgrade on our 53 day cruise, so free laundry and discount on excursions for her. Final payment is due 11-8-25 for $9,244.40. Ship tips will be extra ($34 per night) and excursions, etc. will be extra.

Airfares, Parking: March 15 Miami to Singapore and returning April 21 from Tokyo

We fly to Singapore from Miami, so a one hour drive to our parking. May 29, 2025 we booked United for $1,559 for both of us, going from Miami 5:15pm March 15th and arriving in Singapore at 8:00am March 17th (6h 11m flight to SFO with 3 hr 14 min. layover, then 17h 20min to Singapore, plane change if needed, seat selection, meal, alcohol & beverages provided, 2 bags per person included). I watched rates on the app Hopper and when it said to book our return flight on May 26th, 2025 we booked Tokyo to Miami on Delta for $1,451.62 for both of us. We leave Tokyo at 4:35pm on April 21 and arrive at Miami at 8:57pm still on the 21st (12h 55m flight to ATL with 2.5 hr. layover, then 1hr 57min to Miami, seat selection, plane change if needed, 2 bags per person included).

Lynn found a good parking rate and reserved on May 30,2025 throught Global Airport Parking LLC, from 1pm, March 15, 2026 through 11pm, April 21, 2026. One Switch MIA Airport Parking offers off-site airport parking with complimentary shuttles to Miami International Airport (MIA). The lot is located at 2301 NW 33rd Ave, Miami, FL, 33142 Parking was $205.53 and she paid in full.

5 nights hotel in Singapore starting March 17, 2026 (before the cruise) and 5 nights after the cruise in Yokohama

January 10, 2025, Lynn thought it would be nice to go to Singapore early and stay late in Yokohama, to explore the cities and area. She used our Princess promotion we bought for the Nov. 2025 South America cruise (two 2-day, two 5-day vouchers for 4 or 5 star hotels that you only pay the tax) and booked five days ahead in Singapore ($242.90) and five days in Sotetsu Fresa Inn Yokohama Higashiguchi, Yokohama ($45.76). They are both refundable if the cruise changes ports, or we change our minds. We already used one of the 2-day promotions during the 2024 Fantasy fest in Key West so if we do use these two, we have one 2-day voucher left from the promotion package we bought.

Coral Princess for March 22 - April 16, 2026

The Coral Princess holds 1,970 passengers, 900 crew, we booked a guaranteed inside room catagory ID. Guarantee means that catory of room or better but you don't know your room until close to sailing. This will be a smaller ships for us as we have mostly cruised on ships from 4,004 to 1,380 passengers, crews from 550 to 1,735.

Insurance

Lynn purchased Go Ready Travel Insurance from AEGIS for $396 which goes for one year starting March 30th, 2025 - March 30, 2026, so we will need to add another year.
