There MAY BE a strike during a coiuple of days from september till december. They start the 15th of september!.

But the union says that they are going to talk again and that there is a big change that they will get an agreement on the 31th of august

There is a list of dates available..

hope this helps

Hi Donald

Sorry for this late reply--we have just returned home after 4 weeks away. We are on the HAL cruise leaving Singapore Feb 28th 2014. Is this the one you are on? If so I will be happy to send you a current update re the Borobudur tour etc.

Hello Busybean, thanks for the reply! Actually we leave on the 8th of January and get off the ship when you get on the ship the 28 th of February!! But I am interested when you have more i fo on the Borunudur tour. It is an amazibg view and a great story written on the stones. Have a nice day, Donald

I am still considering whether to book a private tour from Semarang port to Borobudur Temple. After much research I have found a few tour operators which look promising and can offer police escorts. Reviews on CC and Trip Advisor are few & far between. Can anyone who may have used a particular company for this tour on a previous cruise give me any input--good or bad please to enable me to make my decision.

Three yaers ago I booked the tour from Semarang to Borobudur. The whole way up and down we where escorted y the police to give us a free ride wether on the left of the road or on the right or on the shoulder without stopping at one of the 100 traficlights. I still have that trip on video. The trafic is more than hectic and the trip without police takes some 4 hours one way. When they did not construct a highway with 6 lanes I don't think it can be done quicker now. I thought of it to do it in private as well but just for a second......... Good luck. I think I do the HAL tour... Are we on the same cruise?? I think so....
