SF Posted July 30, 2018 #1 Share Posted July 30, 2018 We originally planned to do an Asia Cruise with Celebrity in March 2019 but may have to switch the date to December 2019 over Xmas and New Year's. Would like to hear some pro and cons for each month. I know December in Singapore is their wet season but would like to hear from others that have cruised during that time if "the wet season" affected their trip. We would be in Bangkok on Xmas day but I've read that everything should be open so don't think that would pose a problem. Would like to know about Halong Bay on New Year's Day. Would the Junk Boat tours be working or is this a day when things are closed? Any info would be appreciated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iancal Posted July 31, 2018 #2 Share Posted July 31, 2018 In Dec. it could be wet in Thailand depending on where you go. It will be cold in Hanoi, Northern Vietnam. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SF Posted July 31, 2018 Author #3 Share Posted July 31, 2018 We are planning to stay a few days in Singapore pre-cruise and a few days post cruise in Hong Kong. The places we will visit are: Ho Chi Minh, Hue/Danang, Ha Long Bay, and Bangkok. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At times rain may only be just a short downpour to a few hours. We have done many outdoor activities like Zoo, Universal Studio etc in the month of December.:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So glad to know the rain shouldn't be a problem. Do they have the light show at night at Gardens by the bay if it's raining? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When you visit Gardens by the Bay, do walk to Satay Club and try some local food. Hope you have a wonderful time in Singapore. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
