Great itinerary. It's a busy one, but fascinating. Service on ship was exemplary.

Celebrity handled things well. Singapore authorities don't move real quick. As noted. The check-in process to the ship was excellent.

Service and Staff

One of the best crews we've had on a ship. We've cruised 22 times.
We did find the captain and cruise director had a low profile.
Dud two days of touring. It's a two-hour ride from port. Staying over in Bangkok. May be worth it. A lot of temples, which are fascinating. Royal Palace grounds are cool.
Hanoi is about three hours from the port. We toured Ha Long Bay one day and Hai Phong the next. Our Hai Phong excursion may have been one if the best ever. You really got to see the city ...and...meet common people.
We did Hong Kong on our own for four days after the cruise. Went to Macau and Lan Tau. Make sure to see the Bug Buddha.
A tip: be prepared to pay cash for a lot of stuff. Especially cabs as they do not take credit cards.
Niavlys: We had the classic package and the wine selection was great. The sommelier in Blu was great. As is the case in any wine, it's a matter of taste, but the selection and his recommendation were great. Enjoy the cruise!
Thank you for sharing. Will be on that ship in Februray doung Hong Kong to Singapore. Am too in the Aqua Class and looking forward to it. What room were you in? Did you take the classic beverages and if so, is tge red wine list any decent? Thanks again for your review
