Hi Serge,
We were all ready to go on this cruise when cardiac problems forced us to cancel. We're watching from the sidelines and I just discovered your live reports - great photos! Keep them coming, please.

We're also doing this cruise on 8 September 2019. Our Roll Call is picking up speed.
Can't wait for the next episode of your fascinating review. Keep them coming!

Just returned home from SE Asia cruise on Millennium. Wow, wow and WOW! We had an amazing time.
Started in Hong Kong but with rain, fog and cold, Halong Bay much the same but absolutely stunning. Hue was cold and wet, but did a cyclo ride which was huge fun. Ho Chi Minh City was warm and sunny - great. We booked our own tours with Authentic Asia Tours and can highly recommend them.
They also arranged an overnight stay in Bangkok with car, driver and two full days - brilliant, but be prepared for huge crowds.
Did our own thing in Singapore as we’d been previously so just went to Chinatown and the new hotel in the sky.
We added on 3 days in Cambodia to see Angkor Wat and that was fabulous and well worthwhile. People were lovely, smiling and friendly everywhere and the food - oh boy, what can I say!!!!!!!!!!!
Hotel accommodation is great everywhere, you can get a bit pressurised by children wanting to sell stuff, and be prepared to haggle everywhere in markets.
Go for it, you won’t regret it.

Seems I find many trip reports from loyal Celebrity passengers and people who cruise Aqua/Concierge class.
My report is from Deck 2, inside guarantee , 3 people sharing a room
First about me, I have done about 5 cruises on major lines, all of the ships being smaller and older (Fascination ,NCLStar, Ryndam, Majesty of the Sea) I have no desire to get on a ship with 4,000 to 6,000 people. I also split my vacation time between land and sea.
I had a group from work ask me if I wanted to come along with them to Bermuda. Since I have never been and I live in NJ I figured what the heck ( even though I just came back from Providenciales about 4 weeks before)
I am single and usually travel solo, so having 3 to a room was a little bit nerving to me, but the costs for a solo cabin was out of the budget.
We booked through a travel agent my friend used, have no reason to book with them again. At least we were able to get a room assignment right away and were able to get a room with the fold out chair and not the bunks.(we booked early May)

My Citizen Eco-Drive bought 3 years ago on Reflection is still going strong, altho' I had to buy a new strap this year as the leather one wore out. Now have a SS strap. My wife bought a Skagen watch on board at the same time and it's a great watch. The prices were 20% cheaper than in UK at the time, but not so now!

Just returned from Norway on Infinity - fantastic time! Brunch served in Oceanview Cafe on last sea day. 2 chocolate fountains, one dark one white. See my review in a day or 2. Enjoy!!! Alan

Found this in Roll Call Tool/Celebrity Connections FAQ
"Use your Beverage Package many places on board
Your package can be used many places on the ship—in the Main Restaurant, any specialty restaurant, the casual dining restaurants and buffet, plus all bars and lounges. Beverage packages cannot be used at the in-stateroom mini bar, through Room Service, or at the Enomatic® wine-dispensing system in Cellar Masters."
Cheers

We are booked on the Celebrity Infinity in July and want to do our own thing at ports of call. Has anybody any advice about booking the train from Flam to Myrdal, and how long to stay at Myrdal before returning to Flam? Thanks, Alan

We've just come off the Aurora R320 Caribbean Cruise and we didn't have the choice of the signature menu at any time in the Medina Restaurant. We thought the service in the restaurant was excellent and if our food was not up to standard (tough and overcooked meat on many occasions) it was changed, or the offer was made to substitute it.
