cruiserke;51851272']Fellow Belgian here' date=' who traveled on the Millennium in Asia twice before and will be boarding her again next week. Our past cruises included visits to Hong Kong, Vietnam, Thailand, Singapore, South-Korea, Taiwan, Japan and mainland China. The ONLY country for which we needed to pre-arrange visa ourselves before boarding was China. For all the other destinations either no visa was required or Celebrity arranged the visa (group or individual) whilst inboard, at a minor cost. We had multiple consecutive stops in Vietnam on those cruises.

 

I assume that is still the case, including for Vietnam. If not, I'll find out the hard way next Monday when I'm due to board the Millennium in Singapore (where I'm right now, enjoying a hot Christmas week) and I'll be sure to come back to this thread to warn you ;)

 

Now, you indicate you are on a b2b with both cruises stopping in Vietnam. Presumably you'll visit other countries between your stops in Vietnam. Our stops have always been consecutive, meaning that we we did not visit a second country between our first and second entry into Vietnam. If there indeed is a rule you cannot apply for two such visa within a 30 day period, your situation may indeed require you to obtain a full multi-entry visa by yourself.[/quote']

 

Hello cruiserke. We are also from Belgium and cruising to China (Sanya) next March.

 

Can you give me some tips and advice about best way and how to get a Chinese Visa in Belgium.

 

If possible, do you have maybe an email address where I can contact you, so we can discuss this in Dutch.

Yes, indeed it's a cabin on deck 7 at the far side aft.

Booked a guaranteed balcony cabin.

They assigned us a balcony cabin with obstruced view (is not mentioned on website).

We asked azamara for another cabin, but for the moment it's not possible.

Is there still a change that they will move us to another cabin (upgrade) ?

and if yes, when ?

We will be arriving by cruise ship in Istanbul.

Our flight is at 11:15am.

How long does it take to get from the ship to Ataturk airport?

At what time do we have to leave from the ship ?

Time needed in Ataturk airport ?

So -- where did you end up?

We ended up in Cabin 652, which was really nice !

Sailing within 12 days with Seabourn.

Booked an OB guarantee. Still no cabin.

Is it possible to get an Accessible Veranda Suite with roll-in shower only, and wheelchair-accessible doorways ?

Embarking in Denpasar Bali next March for a cruise.

How much days pre-cruise can you recommend for seeing some of the highlights in Bali ? Ubud, maybe Pura Ulun Danu Bratan temple, ...

What's best - staying in Ubud or Denpasar (Benoa beach, Seminyak, Jimbaran) ?

A good value for money hotel nearby is the Best Western Hotel Olimpia Venezia.

Hotel in Venetian Style. Excellent location and great breakfast too.

If you like modern-style check Ca' Pozzo Inn.

Clean rooms and also great location.

If you want to stay very close to the port maybe Casa Sant'Andrea.

I booked several times with hotels-n-europe.com. Check them out.

We are staying at the Hilton Fort Lauderdale Beach resort next month.

Stayed there before. Very nice hotel right on the beach. Lovely rooms with kitchenette, fantastic ocean-views. 2,5 miles from the port.

Booked this hotel at http://www.allcruisehotels.com/port/fort-lauderdale.html

Check it out, they have also more choices closer to the port.:)
