Ken,

 

When you discuss this with anyone, it is wise to tell them which pier you will be docked at.

Ocean Terminal is at the tip of Kowloon, located right on the train line that takes you to Disneyland.

Kai Tak Terminal is much farther away, requiring taxis / buses / trains.

We went to Disney Hong Kong in November 2018 and if you follow these instructions you have been given you will have no problems.  My DH wanted me to tell you to go for it and we are old enough to be your parents, or older, and we made it very easily.  

 

We had people tell us not to go because it is smaller than DW but do not let that discourage you.  Yes, it is smaller and you can do it in one day but if you are a Mickey Mouse fan it is a must and you will see things that we do not have in CA or FL.  I did not see the characters around as much as we have here so ready the daily planner carefully.

 

I am sorry this is so late and hope that you are still reading this thread.  Please come back and tell us how you did.  And by the way if you have a senior citizen with you the rate is so low that I thought I was not hearing correctly.   

 

Cheers and take lots of pictures!!

Ocean Terminal is near to TST station, bit of a walk with a 3 yo.   The station you want for Disneyland line is Kowloon.  Take a taxi there with your group and then 5 stations to Sunny Bay and then on the Disney train for 1 stop.   There used to be a fireworks show every evening and there is a grand parade in the afternoons.    Maybe time your visit to fit these activities.   There is plenty to occupy the day, so long as the 3 yo can last.   Have fun.  

If on Cunard they have transport from Heathrow to the dock arranged with Travel Agent. I used a Heathrow Hotel after flying from HK and they could pick up from there. A Fred Olsen cruise used National Bus, but was via the London terminal then to Southampton dock.

Eat in the dining room, doesn't happen

Yes. We only put them on just before we board, as the airlines aren't interested in them and being paper would highly likely not survive the flight. As previously mentioned they are only so that staff can get your bags to your cabin.

We plan on taking this trip in 2015. Please let me know what you liked/didn't like. Just came back from the Galapagos Islands with Celebrity and loved it. Never cruised with NG. Did NG provide you with a jacket and boots?

It is another 4 weeks till we board, so will post our thoughts when we get back home in late August. A couple of days ago we went to a presentation by Lindblad and I think their experience is going to exceed our expectations. They have all the people and equipment for true exploration.

Thanks! We are adventure travellers, usually overland. Definitely not the normal holiday fun-in-the-sun cruise types. But would love to try an adventure cruise with few passengers and loads of experts willing to share their knowledge. The north west passage caught our imagination because we've never heard of cruising up there before. Can't find any reviews of that particular trip though, am I missing something?

We have not been with NG before, but have been on other 'non fun-in-the sun' cruises. We live in the sun, so want to see something else. Was reading through the itinerary again last night and it looks exciting. Main reason was seeing if there was anything exciting to do in Canada before we flew home, but think the cruise will have so much that anything straight on top of that will be a bit flat. Have been advised to rent a car in Edmonton and drive to Jasper, then take train to Vancouver and see Victoria. Does anyone else have any thoughts? Have been on the train from Vancouver to Toronto a few years back and also had a little time in Vancouver at the end of another cruise, but not been to Victoria.

We envy you! We wanted to return to the Arctic next year, but had a conflict with this really interesting trip. So, we cobbled together a B2B2B combining Svalbard (Ice Bears), Greenland East Coast, and Iceland cicumnavigation - 30 days of Arctic cruising - would rather be with you!

A few days more than us there and still interesting. Is it the same ship or did you find another ship to do all this on?

Enjoy, and hope you see some bears. I am still waiting to see polar bear (or a grizzly) outside of a zoo!

Hello, Just booked this one. Anyone else on this adventure yet?

Hello, Bev and now Lloyd here from Perth. We are booked on Veendam from Rio to Santiago via Antarctic Peninsula in December for Christmas/New Year. Been there by myself before, but some recent Qantas offerings were too good to pass up.
