Review summary
My wife and I were celebrating my 70th, and we enjoyed our holiday despite some serious issues which we had not experienced on 5 previous cruises including a cruise with Constellation. The Luminae Restaurant service is outstanding, food excellent. Our suite same as we have had before was excellent. We particularly wanted to dock at Kota Kinabalu where we had been twice before, and this was a highlight with private trip to Kinabalu national park.
Our disappointments were over missed transfer from airport in Singapore, poor return transfer; very poor service in specialty restaurants; worse Muster ever had; truncated times in ports so less sightseeing time; poor internet connection.
We were pleased to have visited Vietnam but would not wish to return, Manila is a nightmare; we like Hong Kong and Singapore but had been before.
If one did not stay in a suite I think this itinerary would be poor. We organised our own private trips , I heard many complaints about Celebrity excursions.

Ship tip
Get own taxis in Singapore ; they take cards and US$. Use own tours for Vietnam and Borneo. Look at my TA reviews. Hong Kong has free shuttel bus to Kowtoon and fabulous Tan Diem garden.
Ports of call
Phu My (Ho Chi Minh City), Vietnam
