Happened on our cruise many years ago in Shanghai. Train carrying a ships tour broke down. Ship waited 5 hours for there return theres an old saying " pay the $2.00 " have peace of mind.
How's this. Nautica March 2011 Beijing to Hong Kong with 4 port stops in Japan. Earthquake and tsunami we where on board March 11. All Japan ports cancelled. Never been to Japan booked this cruise for that reason but that's life.Had a great time.Food and amenities fantastic on the ship. Did 4 other ports in the region.
We stayed at The Park Hyatt Sydney before our cruise on Nautica.
One of the finest hotels in the world and great location. Get a credit card associated with the hotel and stay for points.
Always look for the porter bringing the luggage to the staterooms when our category is called and hand him a few bucks never have to wait more then a little while ,all brought together.
