  1. A friend is about to depart (mid-May) for an Amazon river cruise with Iberostar. She was recently told that rubber boots are very helpful to wear for walking in the jungle on shore excursions, and that a poncho is also helpful.

     

    For those who have been, is this correct and if so, will the ship provide either of those? She really does not want to have to haul a pair of rubber boots down to South America if possible.

     

    Thanks for any advice.

    Not necessary as they will provide

  2. Aloha Capt. Ron,

     

    You posted in reply to ep1987 question, "Also not asia board related but did any of the food onboard stand out as being either really good or pretty poor?"

     

    Capt. Ron response, "Not really, food was Okay in MDR, had better on other Celebrity ships. Veggies cold twice for wife in MDR. Lobster one night without extra cost. They have added extra cost food items to order from the MDR menu which was new to us. Lobster, prime steak etc."

     

     

     

    We are going on 8 day Celebrity Millenium in April 2017. We've sailed on Princess twice & RCCL once before. The food on our Princess cruises was very good. RCCL, not so good.

     

    Please, could you expand on your experience of the food on the Millenium.

     

    We've looked at the limited information provided on the Celebrity page for this cruise and it is very limited. We've read other reviews on CC that the food on the Millenium was not very good and that the staff keeps trying to upsell meals in the MDR and the pay restaurant packages. We've also read that people that have purchased the pay restaurant packages were dissatisfied with the wait to get into the pay restaurants & the quality of the food served there. :( :mad:

     

    We've also read that there is very little variation in the buffet food & drink items (kind of like our experience with RCCL) and insufficient seating for the number of passengers trying to use the restaurant. :(

     

    I look forward to your reply.

     

    Aloha, rak :D

    We just returned from Japan on Celebrity Millenium and food was mediocre at best. We did buy specialty restaurant package thinking it would be better but not so much. I have been on other Celebrity ships and never complained about food but for some reason this ship is not good. Don’t bother with specialty restaurants. The martini bar is great

  3. We were in Busan in Spring 2018 and was not expecting to like this port as much as we did. I echo another posters comment that the UN Cemetary was worth a visit as I am Canadian as well. The sights are quite far apart but the city is very modern. I highly recommend a tour just to get around. The fish market was amazing where you could pick your seafood and have it cooked upstairs. From tank to table. We had a private tour with Korea Private Tours. KoreaPrivateTours@happimize.com
