(SF - are you on our sailing?) If you are on the Millennium over Christmas and New Year's then yes, looks like we're on the same sailing. Let's just hope it doesn't get rerouted 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The main risk to travellers remains at the airport. Everywhere else just avoid obvious large crowds. Not exactly - the State Department’s Office of Citizen Services is the best guide. They run the SMARTTraveller program and manage travel warnings. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thephillykid Posted September 6, 2019 #32 Share Posted September 6, 2019 My wife and I are on the Millennium going Hong Kong to Singapore starting on 1/4/20. We called our TA who is a large national agency who sold ua travel insurance (we never travel without it) and they gave me their number. I called them and they told me that civil unrest would not be a covered reason to cancel and get a refund. They also only pay $300 for a missed embarkation port. This is hardly enough money to get us to the next stop in Vietnam should we miss Hong Kong. We were then advised to use "cruise line airfare" and we then booked the air through choice air because celebrity guarantees us passage. Any thoughts? I know we are 4 months away but things can happen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, it’s all a mystery. I’m not a current Viking fan at the moment. And I don’t trust their talk at all for Aussies and maybe UK people. I’m actually thinking of Uniworld for Egypt. And maybe delaying for a year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Most police / protestors conflicts happen on weekend nights and you can easily avoid those areas by asking your hotel, usually near China office at island west, police stations in residential areas, and the government office near admiralty. Protestors are pretty civilised here they do not harm normal people nor shops. If you hang near shopping areas such as Central, Causeway Bay, Tsim Sha Tsui especially during daylight you would be pretty safe. You might however encounter sudden road blockade sometimes but there is no harm. People still go out everyday as normal. The bright side is there are so few tourists now, much shorter queues for cable cars and taxis. Also they are saying China would definitely end this by all means by their 70th national day on Oct 1 so we’ll see. Hi Buramiko, First, I would like to say that I am sorry for the on-going unrest in Hong-Kong. It must be difficult for all Hong-Kong citizens. Since you mentioned living in Hong-Kong, I was wondering if you had updated information. What we hear in the news media is not reassuring. Our cruise is only in March 2020. For that cruise, we will need a transfer from the airport to our hotel, located on the Kowloon side, then from the hotel to the Based on the existing context, besides avoiding protest areas, would you have any suggestions on other precautions to take? Thank you in advance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
