Rare mahdnc Posted June 11, 2020 #4 Share Posted June 11, 2020 We are booked on the Dec 20 2020 Millennium sailing (14 night Hong Kong to Singapore). It still shows availability on Celebrity's website. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
micheleg Posted June 11, 2020 #5 Share Posted June 11, 2020 Sold out or capacity controlled? That is the new question. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If they think that Asia cruises will go in fall to spring, but they don't know what occupancy restrictions will be in place, it would make sense to take cabins off the board until they figure that out.

Since both the Eclipse & Millennium transpacific Cruises in September have been cancelled it is unlikely the ships will be in Tokyo on 10/11. Unless it sails empty and I can’t think of a reason to cancel a heavily booked sailing to send the ship to Asia without passengers. Were were booked on the Eclipse 9/25 TP which was canceled. We are also booked on the 10/11 Tokyo- Singapore and the following 10/27 Singapore r/t. Final payment is due on the 10/11 Cruise in July so we are waiting until the late June announcement of cancelled cruises ; if it is canx we will opt for the 125%FCC. If it isn’t cancelled in June we will not make final payment and will cancel that and the 10/27 Singapore sailing. Some others from the TP and 10/11 sailing have cancelled and moved the deposit to the April Asia cruises. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tom & Judy I would think that is the reason. We have done a few Asian cruises and cannot wait to do others, however any cruise stopping in any Chinese port (Hong Kong excepted) is not being considered by us. Considering China has brought cruising and tourism to it's knees I cannot understand why any cruise line would stop there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Edinburghgirl1 Posted June 12, 2020 #12 Share Posted June 12, 2020 Most Asian countries have had much fewer deaths compared to Europe and the US and there is no way they will allow cruise ships in any time soon. Most still have closed borders to International tourists. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jojo1966 Posted June 12, 2020 #13 Share Posted June 12, 2020 i messaged the celebrity uk facebook people to ask why all cabins had been removed from availaiblty and was told it is because the cruise is sold out - as if !!! no way that in the space of 3 days they have sold that many cabins in this environment...

RickT Posted June 12, 2020 #14 Share Posted June 12, 2020 I suspect this is just Celebrity's IT dept at work. Every few days I recheck the pricing/promos for my March New Zealand cruise and every now and then it's sold out... go back a few hours later and every category is open. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nyc2pdx Posted June 13, 2020 #15 Share Posted June 13, 2020 I was on the Millenium this September from Vancouver to Tokyo...just before it was canceled (due to Canada closing their ports through 10/31) all the rooms were sold out, except the top end suites. I'd say it doesn't look good 😞 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
