About Cruise Critic Star Ratings
Emerald Princess, which debuted in April 2007, follows the highly evolutionary Crown Princess, whose launch took place in March of 2006. (A third ship in the class, Ruby Princess, launched in 2009.) All three ships are virtually identical in layout and design, so if you have sailed on Crown Princess ... well, you won't have any trouble finding your way around Emerald or Ruby. (The layout for all three is based on the Grand-class ship design, though slightly larger.)
But for those who haven't traveled on Princess' Grand-class ships -- or for travelers for whom an Emerald Princess voyage is a first cruise with the line -- the ship will surprise, and in most cases, delight you with far higher levels of cuisine, service and amenities than you would expect on a modern, mega-ship catering to over 3,000 passengers. There's the Italian-styled piazza, around which are centered the International Cafe (with its excellent coffees and scrumptious pastries, quiche and chocolate fondue); across the way is Vines, the ship's wine and sushi bar (it's got the only really good wine list onboard).
There's the occasional "street theater" in the three-deck high piazza. Offerings range from stilt walkers to comedians, and from chef and bartender demos to a pianist singing Broadway tunes. People flock to this part of the ship, day and night. Another neat Crown feature that made the transition is The Sanctuary, the top deck's adult-only outdoor spa area. And Skywalkers Nightclub, Princess' distinctive top-ship disco, is as pared down from older versions (as it was on Crown) -- which means the pool below it is much sunnier and cheerier.
In some ways this ship is better suited for Caribbean itineraries, where it spends half the year -- and when you have lots more time to enjoy the onboard ambience -- than on the Mediterranean cruise on which I sailed. That's simply because the days in port are so intense that onboard activities, which run day to night and offer some genuinely fun diversions, get the short shrift. Most passengers are simply worn out by evening, and prefer buffet dining at the Cafe Caribe over long, languid dinners at Crown Grill or Sabatini's, and early bedtimes to late night carousing at Skywalkers.
Wherever you cruise on Emerald Princess, what's clear is that this latest offering from Princess epitomizes much of what the line does best. The experience onboard is sophisticated to a point -- but also wholesome and down to earth.
Princess has deftly maneuvered the tight rope at dinner time between pleasing passengers who prefer a traditional dining experience (set time, tablemates and restaurant) with those who desire flexibility. Passengers can opt for the structured choice in the Botticelli Restaurant (seatings at 6:15 and 8:30 p.m.). The Michelangelo and Da Vinci restaurants handle the flex-dining crowd where passengers can turn up anytime between 6 - 10 p.m.; beepers are provided during busy times -- or you can opt to dine with other passengers.
Editor's Note:
Because passengers can pre-request their evening dining option (traditional or anytime), the maitre 'd onboard will tweak as best he or she can to accommodate everyone.
Typical dishes served in the three dining rooms include Strasbourg duck liver pate with black truffle, gnocchi pillows filled with Asiago cheese in a truffle creamy coulis, aged beef tenderloin in a whole grain mustard crust with chasseur sauce or baked Italian crepes filled with Fontina cheese and porcini mushrooms. As well, Princess features standards on every menu; these include sirloin steak, grilled chicken or salmon.
Desserts range from amaretto torte to vanilla souffle with Grand Marnier sabayon.
Breakfast and lunch are served daily in, usually, Da Vinci; it's open seating during these meals. Hours are 7 - 9 a.m. for breakfast and noon - 2 p.m. for lunch. An elegant afternoon tea is also served here from 3:30 - 4:30 p.m.
While main dining rooms are a focus for many, one of Emerald Princess' greatest strengths throughout the day is its sheer volume of noshing options. The Horizon Court is the ship's buffet venue and it's open for breakfast, lunch, snacks and dinner. Hours are: 6 - 11:30 a.m. for breakfast; 11:30 a.m. - 3.30 p.m. for lunch; and from 3:30 -5:30 p.m. for a light snack buffet. Typical breakfast offerings include omeletates, pastries, cereal, etc. For lunch, you'll find deli fare, made-to-order sandwiches and meats, and a whole hosts of sides and salads.
Just beyond the Horizon Court on the Lido Deck is the smaller and slightly more intimate Cafe Caribe. While also a buffet-style venue, the adjacent Cafe Caribe offers terrific themed buffets for lunch and dinner (such as Asian one day for lunch, with an expansive sushi bar, and French Provencal on an evening for dinner). It's also the best place onboard for "home food" -- our roast chicken, mashed potatoes and pea dinner one night was just the ticket. Wines are sold only by the glass here.
On the same deck, midship, you'll also find a pizzeria and an ice cream bar, as well as the Trident Grill, which serves the usual grilled items like hamburgers, hotdogs, chicken and fries. All are open daily from 11 a.m. to 1 a.m.
It is open from 5:30 - 11 p.m. for dinner and from 11 p.m. - 4 a.m. for "bistro dinner." The latter's aimed at night owls, and the few evenings we actually were up late enough to check it out we were unimpressed with dried out, steam-table fare.
For even more casual noshing, we adored the cluster of food emporiums around the Piazza. Vines, the ship's wine bar, has, in addition to the best selection of wines onboard (far, far superior to the pedantic list available in the main venues), freshly prepared sushi. There is an additional cost, but this is not your standard "buffet" sushi, left out for all to grab at. You order your rolls, and a chef actually makes it in front of you. The International Cafe, across the way, has its own bakeshop (with onsite ovens so you can smell the tantalizing cookies, desserts and croissants as they cook). For breakfast, there are croissants and pastries, and for lunch there are salads and quiches, all included in your cruise fare. The cafe does have a short menu of specialty items that are a la carte priced -- the chocolate fondue is worth every cent and calorie.
The Cafe is also a coffee bar; lattes, espressos and more are available here and all command a price. Most formal are the ship's two specialty restaurants. Sabatini's, which levies a $25 per person service charge, is the fleet's Northern Italian-themed restaurant based on an eatery in Florence. And, as with Crown Princess, it's been moved to a top deck (previous iterations on older ships were situated lower down). The dining experience now comes with gorgeous views -- so if you want to see the sunset plan to dine fairly early). In terms of the menus, while basically the same, they've been pared down slightly (no pizzas are offered, for instance), and passengers are served small bites of a variety of different tastes, from antipasti to the main course. There are plenty of fish dishes, (my favorite has always been the lobster with pumpkin risotto).
One neat aspect to dining here is you can have your dessert served in the adjacent Adagio, a piano bar.
Crown Grill is another popular venue that debuted on Crown Princess; it's a seafood/chop house and is elegantly dark. There's an open kitchen and the seafood, including lobster, is so fresh it's occasionally still alive. It costs $25 per person to dine at Crown Grill.
We loved the Chef's Table concept; a group of up to 10 (and not necessarily all known to one another -- you just sign up for designated evenings) start the night off with champagne cocktail and appetizers in the working galley. Anyone who's done a tour of any ship's huge galley will understand that these are always held, for obvious reasons, when there isn't much going on! What's neat about Chef's Table is that your group occupies a corner of the main galley at the height of dinnertime. The chance to see chefs and waiters in action -- a real behind-the-scenes experience -- is worth the price of admission alone. Then you're lead out to specially designated tables in a private dining area and served a multi-course menu paired with wines that are selected just for the evening. The Chef's Table is $95 per person.
In-cabin dining options abound. There's a no-fee room service menu (continental breakfast in standard cabins, and a selection of sandwiches, salads and entrees throughout the day). Pizza delivery costs $3 per pie. And for a really special evening, try the Ultimate Balcony Dinner. You need to reside in a cabin with a verandah, of course and what you get is a romantic meal for two outdoors (complete with table set with white linen and festooned with flowers). The $100 per-couple charge includes a four course meal, a half bottle of sparkling wine, a pre-dinner cocktail and a photo portrait.
The Champange Brunch is another option. For $32 per person (and of course a balcony), a waiter comes, sets up the table, and presents several covered plates with quiche, fresh fruit and lots of (way too many of) pastries. As the name indicates, you also get a split of champagne.
Princess has always been an industry leader in offering a high ratio of balcony cabins (which means that they're value priced as well as generally available) and Emerald Princess excels in that regard with 880 on tap.
All standard cabins (insides on up) are uniquely laid out with a little hallway off the main hallway that leads to your open-door closet and to the bathroom. It's like having a walk-in closet! Staterooms are simply and tastefully furnished, all with ensuite facilities, and most have twin beds that can be converted into a queen-size bed.
They also have individual air-conditioning systems and are equipped with a mini-fridge, hair dryer, and flat-screen TV with a variety of films, television programmes and news channels. One special-to-Princess feature is its romance channel -- which showcases classic and contemporary chick flicks and other worthy entertainment! Cabins are also equipped with a multi-channel music system, and a writing desk.
Most cabins tend to have two bunk beds that fold down from the ceiling above the main beds, enabling the cabins to cater more easily to families. This layout also keeps the sleeping area compact, so it is still easy to move around the cabin. There is also a handy walk-in closet area with plenty of storage space, plus a safe. Bathrooms are efficient, with generous enough space for stowing toiletries, and are shower-only in standard categories (from insides to balcony staterooms).
Sizewise, standard cabins are neither overly generous or excessively miserly. Insides are 160 square ft., outsides range from 158 to 181 square ft. and staterooms with verandah are 233 to 285 square ft. (the last includes the balcony in the measurement).
Thirty staterooms in a variety of categories have been equipped for disabled travelers.
For more spacious accommodations, the ship offers a couple of different options. Beds are made with plush duvets and lots of pillows; bathrooms have good quality towels.
Those opting for more room should start by looking at mini-suites, at 323 square ft., which include a separate living nook and a full length couch, along with a chair and an extra remote-operated television. Its bathroom comes with a tub. Then Princess has a raft of names for its other suites (Vista, Penthouse, Owners), but they all come in between 468 - 591 square ft. Other perks include a separate sitting area, DVD and MP3 player (DVD's are available for free to borrow), free laundry and dry cleaning, and a more elaborate bathroom. Interestingly, there's no over-the-top, 1,000-plus square ft. suite onboard.
There are two family suites onboard; these measure 607 square ft.
Public Rooms
The impressive atrium of the Emerald Princess with its sweeping tiered staircase is the focal point of the ship and it succeeds in being grand but not too over the top. This is the venue for gentle daytime entertainment, from engaging street theatre entertainers to relaxing classical interludes from string quartets and the ship's pianists. With the patisserie serving up tempting pastries, it is a popular spot for an afternoon treat.
Despite the fact that Emerald Princess accommodates the most passengers in the fleet, it is still possible to find intimate and quiet nooks and crannies, such as the library (books are sparsely stocked but there are fantastically comfy leather chairs, facing out windows, with listening stations).
There's a 24-hour Internet center. Rates are 75 cents per minute and packages are available for heavy users (100 minutes for $55 or 55 cents per minute; 150 minutes for $75 or 50 cents per minute; and 250 minutes for $100 or 40 cents per minute). As well, wireless is available throughout the ship's public spaces, but not yet in cabins.
One nifty Princess feature is its wedding chapel, which hosts marriage ceremonies and vow renewals.
Gratuities, which are automatically charged to onboard accounts, are $11.50 per person (including children), per day, for passengers staying in standard accommodations and $12 for passengers staying in mini-suite and suites. A 15 percent gratuity is added to beverage purchases onboard, including wine at dinner. Spa and casino staff members do not share in the gratuity charges -- if you use these services, tips are advised.
Fitness and Recreation
Emerald Princess has plenty to offer fans of pampering with its Asian-style Lotus Spa, which spans two decks and offers a mouth-watering array of treatments. They range from an "Aromapure" Seaweed Massage (costing $195) and "Aromastone" Therapy ($195) to revitalising hair and scalp treatments and Botox.
One of the more novel attractions on deck is The Sanctuary - a cordoned-off adult-only retreat with cream awnings that give the appearance of a tented-style shaded haven. For $15 for half a day (open from 8 a.m. - 12:30 p.m. and 1 - 5:30 p.m.), guests can relax on sumptuous sofas or padded chaise lounges and enjoy massages (extra natch) in special outdoor cabanas while "serenity stewards" bob about dispensing chilled face towels, Evian water atomizers -- and for an extra charge of, "healthy" drinks and light meals, and even MP3 players for rental ($10), loaded with "relaxing" music. Be sure to book ahead for this facility on sea days, which is when it tends to be most popular and soon gets fully booked.
Like most ships, Emerald Princess has its own fully equipped gym, plus a sports court where enthusiasts can practise their basketball and paddle tennis skills. They can also pound the decks on the ship's jogging track, swim a few lengths in the lap pool or perfect their swing on the golf simulators before striding the greens of the Princess Links nine-hole mini-golf course.
At the end of the day, this is a big ship with the facilities to match -- but there are a lot of passengers to entertain and on sea days the decks can get pretty crowded (it can prove fairly difficult to find sunbeds close to the pool, which is fairly essential if you're trying to supervise children).
There are three kids clubs for kids between the ages of 3 and 17. Princess Pelicans serves those aged 3 to 7, Shockwaves is for ages 8 to 12, and Remix caters to 13- to 17-year-olds. Activities range from pirate parties and treasures hunts for younger cruisers to PlayStation tournaments, JuniorChef@Sea cooking classes and hip-hop dance classes for older kids.
Remix, a relatively new concept for Princess, is hip and edgy. There are PlayStation2's, movies and music, Karaoke, giant screen TV's, card games, board games, Ping Pong tables and juke boxes. Teens also have a separate Jacuzzi and sunbathing area. They can even mix their own dance tracks and take hip-hop dance lessons.
Youngsters have their own "Chill Out" splash pool. And it goes without saying that more generic attractions such as Movies Under the Stars hold an instant appeal for them too -- but beware of what's being shown as sometime the language is more suited to an adult audience than young viewers.The two main pools on the Lido Deck are popular with children, but they are deep so kids need to be reasonable swimmers.
The most unique new aspect to Princess' program -- one they've quietly rolled out -- is a Youth Security Program. Young folks (early 20's) wearing bright yellow (and instantly identifiable) polo shirts, patrol the ship -- and even are waiting at embarkation -- with a purpose of discouraging outrageous behavior before it has a chance to occur. What's more, these staffers, just slightly older than the kids they oversee, are of the same generation so to speak and come across as cool and hip -- and the teens look up to them. As an onboard staffer explained, "They come across as teen-friendly and are not perceived as a police force."
Fellow Passengers
Fellow passengers come in a wide range of ages, both couples and families -- particularly during school holidays. The mix is split, with the majority being Americans (about 70 percent), followed by Britons (about 15 percent) and other cruisers from as far away as Australia and Japan. You'll likely find that many have traveled with Princess in the past. In fact, on one recent voyage, we were informed that 500 of the folks onboard would be doing back-to-back sailings.
Dress Code
It's all pretty relaxed most evenings. There is one formal night on each one-week cruise and around two formal nights of cruises of 12 to 14 nights. Most men were in suits and a number were wearing black tie while the ladies opted for long or short evening dresses on these nights -- but if you didn't, it wasn't a big deal. There were no raised eyebrows!
The Piazza is a marvelous destination. Located on Deck 3 -- and the first deck of the three-story atrium -- it serves as an impromptu performance venue, demo area and, during down times, adjunct to the International Cafe. We loved it. On one sea day, for instance, there was a chocolate demo from the pastry chef, followed by a mime, followed by magic tricks and then a "physical comedy" act. On another day, the young members of Princess' Fun Zone program had a "street fair" there. On the second formal evening, people thronged all three levels to watch the fabled "champagne pour," a Princess tradition.
Beyond that, the ship has so many entertainment options that my head literally was spinning as I tried to figure out which to choose. Each lounge has a different personality. Crooners, on the promenade, is right in the heart of the action, overlooking the Piazza, and features a vocalist (on particularly boisterous evenings the joint may erupt into a passenger singalong). Known for its martinis, Crooners serves 52 different types! Explorer's Lounge is primarily an events' venue for everything from art auctions to guest lectures. At night, it often served as a secondary movie theater.
Club Fusion was also busy during the day -- with Ballroom Blitz, line dancing, bingo and Jeopardy -- and into the evening with other varied activities, from trivia to "Princess Pop Star," a take-off on American Idol, to Bee At Sea, a spelling-themed competition. This venue also hosts Captain's Circle meetings for frequent Princess cruisers.
The Speakeasy, tucked into Gatsby's Casino, is the only place to smoke a stogie. The Wheelhouse Bar, a Princess tradition, has nautical character, but lacks the intimacy I've associated with smaller versions on other ships. And Adagio, tucked into a light-filled corner on Deck 16, is an elegant, Ritz Carlton-esque venue with a cabaret singer/pianist. Late night action is to be found, natch (albeit in more limited fashion on my Med sailing), in Princess' trademark Skywalker's (this version has a nice balcony off the end); it's a kids and then teen disco early in the evening and adults only later on.
The Princess Theater is the ship's main show venue, and it also showed movies from time to time when not featuring production shows and comedy acts.
During the daytime, beyond the aforementioned entertainment, Princess is definitely committed to its ScholarShip@Sea program. Some are more light-hearted -- I had a blast bringing out my "inner artist" at Ceramics at Sea (it's tucked into an alcove by the Neptune's Reef pool); you pay only for the plate or frame or whatever you choose -- the paint is supplied and staffers fire it for you to take home. Other facets of the overall program include culinary arts demonstrations (wine tastings, ice carving and the like), an extensive array of Computers@Sea classes and a guest lecture series.
Movies Under the Stars, in the Calypso Pool area, is a major attraction and is on all day (with family fare), as well as into the night (with action flicks and such). Occasionally the line will program special events (like the Super Bowl). Also keep an eye out for boutique kiosks in this area, which will allow you to shop for items without cutting into your tanning time.

There is no nationwide advisory in effect for Vietnam. However, you should exercise a high degree of caution due to increasing petty crime targeting foreigners.
The decision to travel is your responsibility. You are also responsible for your personal safety abroad. The purpose of this Travel Advice is to provide up-to-date information to enable you to make well-informed decisions.
Petty crime against tourists is increasing, particularly in the larger cities. Although violent crimes such as armed robbery are still relatively rare in Vietnam, perpetrators have grown increasingly bold. Knives and razors have been used in attempted robberies in Ho Chi Minh City. Motorcyclists grab bags and other valuables from pedestrians and from passengers or drivers on motorbikes; this often results in injury to the victim. Hotels and tourist areas are more likely to be targeted by criminals. Thefts also occur on crowded buses and trains and in shopping centres and markets. Bag slashing is a frequent occurrence in crowded streets and markets. Avoid showing signs of affluence and ensure that your personal belongings and passports and other travel documents are secure at all times.
When leaving the airport, you should only use authorized airport taxis or hotel transportation. Authorized taxi companies usually have operators posted at airports who are responsible for monitoring taxi services. These companies publish the taxi driver's name and vehicle number on a card that should be affixed to the windshield (in front of the driver's seat). Individuals posing as taxi drivers have targeted foreign visitors at Hanoi airport and robbed them by forcing them to withdraw money from automatic banking machines. Travellers have also been robbed by drivers who greeted them upon arrival with a placard showing their name. If you are expecting to be picked up, ask for your driver's name, phone number and licence plate number before you travel. Be familiar with your hotel's address and neighbouring landmarks because taxi drivers have taken unaware visitors to the wrong establishment, in order to receive a commission. Never share a taxi with a stranger.
Threats of physical injury related to personal disputes occasionally occur. If you are in this position, contact the local police and the closest Canadian government office immediately.
Both tourists and expatriates have been targeted by credit card forgery crime. Avoid using your credit card in smaller establishments, and pay careful attention when others are handling your card. Consider obtaining a second card, with a low credit limit, for use during your stay in Asia.
Tourists have been victims of gambling scams in Hanoi and Ho Chi Minh City (particularly in the Pham Ngu Lao neighbourhood). This scam usually starts with a friendly invitation to someone's home to meet a relative interested in visiting or studying in Canada. While the visitor is waiting for this individual, a casual game of cards will begin. Even though they started with only a small wager, victims have reported losing thousands of dollars over the course of an evening.
Public demonstrations are generally not tolerated in Vietnam and can carry heavy penalties, including lengthy jail sentences. Avoid demonstrations and follow the advice of local authorities.
Traffic accidents occur frequently, often causing death or serious injury. Motorcycle riders and pedestrians are common victims. Driving standards are poor, vehicles and roads are often badly maintained, and roads in major cities are congested. Rain can flood potholes and roads, especially those in the north, can become impassable during the rainy season. Travelling after dark is dangerous.
Driving without a Vietnamese driver's licence is illegal. If you are involved in a traffic accident, you may face criminal charges and have to pay compensation if someone is injured. You may be prohibited from leaving the country before paying this compensation. Hiring a car and driver for personal transportation is strongly recommended. Rent a motorcycle only if you are accustomed to local driving standards and be aware that insurance is not included with these rentals. Motorcycle taxis (known as "xe oms") are unsafe and should be avoided.
Bus accidents are not uncommon. A number of fatal boat accidents have occurred in past years, some in Halong Bay. Ensure that your tour operator follows up-to-date safety regulations.
Keep ticket stubs at all times when travelling by train, as they are required when exiting the train station. Passengers without a ticket stub will be required to pay the fare again.
Consult our Transportation Safety page in order to verify if national airlines meet safety standards.
Pirate attacks occur in coastal waters and, in some cases, further out at sea. Mariners should take appropriate precautions. For additional information, consult the Live Piracy & Armed Robbery Report, published by the International Maritime Bureau.
Travel near military facilities in some parts of the central highlands and in some border areas is restricted.
Unexploded landmines are a hazard in some rural areas of central Vietnam.
Improper farming and production practices, as well as overall poor hygiene in food preparation, make food safety a concern. Exercise a high degree of caution, particularly when consuming street food and beverages containing ice cubes. Avoid drinking non-bottled water.
Never leave your food or drink unattended or in the care of strangers. Be wary of accepting snacks, beverages, gum or cigarettes from new acquaintances, as they may contain drugs that could put you at risk of sexual assault and robbery. Do not purchase liquor from street vendors, as the quality cannot be assured.
Hotel rooms and electronic communications may be monitored. Hotel staff require your passport in order to register it with local authorities. The staff may insist on keeping your passport until your departure, but there is no legal reason for them to do so. You may request the return of your passport once it has been registered.
Dial 113 to reach police, 114 for firefighters and 115 for ambulance.
It is the sole prerogative of each country or region to determine who is allowed to enter. Canadian consular officials cannot intervene on your behalf if you do not meet entry requirements. The following information on entry and exit requirements has been obtained from the Vietnamese authorities. However, these requirements are subject to change at any time. It is your responsibility to check with the Embassy of the Socialist Republic of Vietnam for up-to-date information.
Official (special and diplomatic) passport holders must consult the Official Travel page, as they may be subject to different entry requirements.
Canadians must present a passport to visit Vietnam, which must be valid for at least one month beyond the expiry date of their visa. Before you leave, ask your transportation company about its requirements related to passport validity, which may be more stringent than the country's entry rules.
Canadians must be in possession of a visa to enter Vietnam. Visas should be obtained prior to arrival. Extensions can be obtained from the Vietnam Immigration Department in Hanoi or Ho Chi Minh City or, for a fee, from some local travel agencies and tour companies.
A visa may be issued on arrival in emergency situations. Contact the Embassy of the Socialist Republic of Vietnam for more information.
Vietnamese visas in expired Canadian passports are no longer valid. The visa needs to be transferred to the new passport.
Tourist visa: Required
Business visa: Required
Student visa: Required
Travellers must register with the local police upon arrival, even if staying with relatives. Hotel guests are automatically registered.
Dual citizenship is recognized in limited circumstances. Canadian officials may be limited in their ability to provide consular services. You should travel using your Canadian passport and present yourself as Canadian to foreign authorities at all times. Consult Dual Citizenship: What You Need to Know to Know for more information.
Travellers entering the country are subject to a body temperature check and, in some cases, may be quarantined for medical observation if they show flu-like symptoms.
Some countries require proof of yellow fever vaccination before allowing entry. Consult the World Health Organization's country list to obtain information on this country's requirements.
Children need special documentation to visit certain countries. Please consult our Children page for more information.
For the latest Travel Health Notices and information on vaccinations, outbreaks and diseases, consult the website of the Public Health Agency of Canada.
The Agency strongly recommends that you consult with a travel medicine clinic or health care provider preferably six weeks before departure.
The Agency publishes travel health advice for Vietnam.
Health-care services are below Canadian standards. Medical facilities and supplies are limited outside of Hanoi and Ho Chi Minh City. Serious medical problems may require evacuation.
You are subject to local laws. Consult our Arrest and Detention FAQ for more information.
Penalties for possession, use or trafficking of illegal drugs are strict and include the death penalty.
Penalties for drinking and driving are strict. Convicted offenders can expect heavy fines and jail sentences.
Gambling outside of licensed casinos is illegal in Vietnam.
Photography of military installations and border crossings is prohibited.
Involvement in politics, possession of political or sexually explicit material, or involvement in an unsanctioned religious activity can result in detention. Participation in a public demonstration is generally not tolerated in Vietnam and can carry heavy penalties, including lengthy jail sentences.
Visitors are not allowed to invite Vietnamese nationals of the opposite sex into their hotel rooms to stay overnight. Visitors are allowed to stay with a Vietnamese family, providing they have obtained permission from local authorities. It is the responsibility of the Vietnamese host to register their foreign guests with local authorities.
Cash in excess of US$7,000, or the equivalent in any other foreign currency, must be declared upon arrival. Anyone arriving in the country with more than 300 grams of gold, including jewellery, gold bar and raw gold, must also make a declaration.
Vietnamese law restricts the export of antiques, but these laws are vague and unevenly enforced. If you purchase non-antique items of value, retain receipts and confirmation from shop owners and/or the Ministry of Culture and the Vietnam General Department of Customs to prevent seizure of your items upon departure.
You must hold a valid Vietnamese driver's licence to drive a motor vehicle in Vietnam, including motorcycles of 50cc or more. You can apply for a Vietnamese driver's licence at an office of the Department of Public Works and Transportation in Hanoi or Ho Chi Minh City.
Motorcycle drivers and passengers must wear a helmet.
The currency is the Vietnamese dong (VND). U.S. dollar traveller's cheques cannot be exchanged outside major cities and tourist areas. Credit cards are accepted at major hotels throughout the country, as well as at an increasing number of restaurants and shops. Automated banking machines are available throughout Vietnam.
Typhoon Haiyan is expected to make landfall in central Vietnam on November 10, 2013.
The rainy (or monsoon) season extends from June to September in the north and south, and from October to December in central Vietnam. Severe rainstorms can cause flooding and landslides. Seasonal flooding occurs in October and November in central Vietnam. Flooding is common in and around Hanoi, particularly along the Red River, and in the Mekong River Delta regions in the south.
Typhoons usually occur between June and December and affect primarily central and northern Vietnam. These storms can result in significant loss of life and extensive damage to infrastructure, and can hamper the provision of essential services. Monitor local news and weather reports, avoid disaster areas and follow the advice of local authorities. Consult our Typhoons and Monsoons page for more information.

Charlotte mayor nominated for transportation secretary
Anthony Foxx is first African-American pick for second-term Cabinet
President Barack Obama tapped the mayor of Charlotte, North Carolina on Monday to head his Department of Transportation.
If confirmed by the Senate, Foxx would replace Ray LaHood, who said in January he wouldn't serve a second term. LaHood has said he will remain in his post until a successor is confirmed. The transportation secretary is responsible for overseeing the nation's roads, airports and railways.
"I know Anthony's experience will make him an outstanding transportation secretary," Obama said at an announcement ceremony in the White House East Room, citing the mayor's work on installing a light rail system in Charlotte and championing the construction of an additional runway at Charlotte/Douglas International Airport.
"He's going to be extraordinary effective," Obama said of his transportation nominee, who he urged Congress to confirm quickly.
"Our top priority as a nation right now is doing everything we can to grow our economy and create good jobs and rebuild opportunity for the middle class," he said. "One of the best ways we can do that is to put more Americans back to work rebuilding our infrastructure."
While Foxx, who turns 42 on Tuesday, has no specific experience heading a transportation company or agency, Obama's nominee said his experience as mayor had well prepared him for the national post.
"I know well the opportunities and challenges of maintaining and improving infrastructure, and providing good transportation choices," Foxx said, adding he was "humbled and honored" to assume the role.
"There is no such thing as a Democratic or Republican road, bridge, port, airfield or rail system. We must work together across party lines to improve this nation's infrastructure," he continued.
LaHood, who attended Monday's announcement ceremony, served as a GOP congressman before taking the transportation job in Obama's Cabinet. Defense Secretary Chuck Hagel was a GOP senator before assuming his post.
Foxx is the first African-American Cabinet pick of Obama's second term, and his nomination comes after criticism of the president for naming mostly white men to top posts earlier this year. Along with Hagel, Obama nominated John Kerry as secretary of state and Jack Lew as treasury secretary.
Elected in 2009, Foxx is considered a rising star in the Democratic Party, a position that was cemented during last summer's Democratic National Convention, which was held in Charlotte. He was the first Democratic mayor of the Queen City since 1987, but announced earlier this month he would not seek re-election.
North Carolina, which was long considered a reliably red state in presidential elections, went for Obama in 2008. Republican Mitt Romney narrowly won the state in 2012.

Waterlooville's new HWRC open for business
Tuesday, 15 January 2013
Waterlooville residents will soon be able to recycle their domestic waste at the new £950,000 household waste recycling centre (HWRC) which opens its gates to the public on Wednesday 16 January 2013 at 8am.
Funded by developer contributions, the new HWRC has been built at Old Park Farm, within the West of Waterlooville Major Development Area. The HWRC - which is larger and will be quicker and easier for people to use with separate levels for householders and servicing vehicles - replaces the former facility in Hambledon Road. The new facility also has significantly more waste container bays and customer parking spaces than the old HWRC.
A further benefit of the split level layout is that full waste containers can be removed and replaced without having to temporarily close the public area (as in the case at the Hambledon Road centre). Servicing vehicles can reach the containers directly from the lower level, reducing congestion and ensuring the HWRC can continue to operate as normal. The access road will feature an onsite stacking lane that can accommodate up to 27 cars, while there will be car parking spaces for up to 27 cars, including two disabled bays, helping prevent traffic queuing outside the site.
Councillor Mel Kendal, Deputy Leader and Executive Member for Environment and Transport at Hampshire County Council, said: "There is a lot more capacity here and better segregation between the areas used by householders and those where servicing vehicles need to operate and manoeuvre.
"Household Waste Recycling Centres are among Hampshire County Council's most widely used public services with more than four million people visiting them each year. Householders in the area will be able to recycle more material, quickly and safely at the new Waterlooville HWRC, thereby reducing waste and making a further contribution to Hampshire having the best record of any county in the UK for diverting household waste from landfill (90%)."
With the opening of the new HWRC, the former facility will be closed. Signs will be in place, on local roads, to direct people from the old HWRC to the new site at Waterlooville. As this area is still part of a new housing development site, the access road to the HWRC will have a temporary road surface and no road markings until housing construction is complete. Construction traffic will be separated from traffic coming to the new HWRC by fencing.

The manhunt may be over for a former Los Angeles police officer accused of shooting five police officers -- killing two -- and slaying two other people.
Christopher Jordan Dorner, 33, had threatened to target law enforcement officers in retaliation for being fired more than four years ago, authorities say.
Here's a timeline of the case:
2001-2002: Dorner graduates college, joins Navy
Dorner grew up in Southern California before attending Southern Utah University, where he was a running back for the school's football team. He graduated with a degree in political science in 2001.
He joined the Navy after college, receiving a commission as an ensign in July 2002. He trained in river warfare units and eventually was rated as a rifle marksman and pistol expert, according to Pentagon records.
2005-2006: Dorner starts LAPD career
Dorner enrolled in the Los Angeles Police Academy in February 2005. After graduation, he spent a few months on the streets as a trainee.
2006-2007: In Iraq with the Navy
The Navy recalled Dorner to active duty, and he served a 2006-2007 stint in Iraq guarding oil platforms.
2007-2011: Return to LAPD, termination and appeals
After his tour in Iraq, Dorner returned to the Los Angeles Police Department in 2007. Shortly after his return, he reported excessive force by a fellow police officer in July 2007.
In a letter allegedly written by Dorner and provided to CNN this week, he said he was relieved of his duties in 2008 after he made the report against the other officer. The letter was provided to CNN by an LAPD source after this week's manhunt began.
Dorner tried to get his job back in 2008, but the LAPD's Board of Rights rejected his appeal. He eventually took the case to court, but a judge ruled against his appeal in October 2011.
February 1: Dorner leaves Navy
Dorner was honorably discharged from the U.S. Navy Reserve as a lieutenant, according to Pentagon records.
February 3: Two killed in Irvine
Two people -- Monica Quan, 27, and her fiance, Keith Lawrence -- were killed in Irvine, California, while sitting in a vehicle at a parking structure, authorities said. Quan was the daughter of former LAPD Officer Randal Quan, who, it is claimed in the letter, bungled Dorner's LAPD termination appeal.
February 5: Dorner at Navy hotel in San Diego
Dorner checked into the Navy Gateway Inns and Suites on San Diego's massive naval base, Navy Cmdr. Brad Fagan said. Dorner probably had access to the hotel from having been honorably discharged, which would mean he would have an ID card, Fagan said.
Dorner failed to properly check out of the Navy hotel on February 6, though he was not believed to still be on base, Fagan said.
February 6: Dorner named suspect, police announce threats
Authorities named Dorner a suspect in the Irvine killings. Authorities said he issued a "multipage manifesto" allegedly implicating himself in the slayings and complaining of his treatment in the LAPD.
Police said Dorner made violent threats against Los Angeles police officers. The force assigned officers to protect those connected to the threats.
February 6: Attempted boat theft in San Diego
