I believe he's now in Qatar with a 6 hour layover. He got to fly in or out of the top 3 airports in the world. Hard to believe not one US airport made this list It was nice he could come home for a couple weeks. Does he have the Sri Lanka transit visa that was talked about earlier? Did RCI take care of that for all of the full word cruisers? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Royal is pretty much only doing visa's for world cruisers doing Africa. Probably because they changed the itinerary. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare orville99 Posted April 23 #4678 Share Posted April 23 Meanwhile, back to the WC, it’s good that John is getting back on board soon. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LadyZolt Posted April 24 #4679 Share Posted April 24 We're in Singapore today, but the ship wasn't here for long and there was a slight delay in letting people go ashore this morning. This was a "turn around" port, so those leaving and not returning were the first ones off. When we were able to leave, my husband and I just took the subway to a few spots and had lunch. I would definitely like to come back and explore more of this city! 25 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I googled the #1 airport. Part of Doha Hamad reminds me of Central Park on O class ships. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LadyZolt Posted April 25 #4681 Share Posted April 25 We docked at Port Klang in Malaysia today and we did an excursion to Kuala Lumpur, which the locals call "KL." We went up to the observation deck of the KL Tower; we also went to the Petronus Twin Towers and saw them -- there is a bridge between the two towers that is on two floors, the 41st and the 42nd. There's a good sized mall there, too, with lots of stuff and a food court, so we had a nice lunch. It's about an hour to hour and a half drive from the port, but we made it back to the ship before it started raining. So, all good! 😀 31 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LadyZolt Posted April 25 #4682 Share Posted April 25 Today is Day 137 of 274, marking the half-way point of the cruise. They served this cake in the Windjammer at dinner to commemorate this milestone... 29 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LadyZolt Posted April 26 #4684 Share Posted April 26 We're in Penang, Malaysia, today. We took an excursion into Georgetown and saw Little India, an Indian temple, a Chinese temple, the Kek Lok Si Buddhist temple with a 120 foot statue of Guanyin, the “goddess of mercy," and Chew Jetty -- an area of homes and buildings built by Chinese people on the water years ago because they didn't have to pay tax if they were living on the water, but they would if their buildings were on the nearby land. It was interesting! It was a very hot day again today, though, so we were grateful for the air conditioning on the bus and in some of the places we went. 34 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks -- I'm glad I have been able to upload some to this site, but someone else will have to take over in a few weeks because we recently had a family situation arise back home, so we will have to leave the ship in Dubai and head home, and we won't get to finish the world cruise. We hope to be able to plan a future cruise that will sail through the Suez Canal, and we'd like to also see the Norwegian fjords and other things that we'll be missing now. Maybe Royal Caribbean will offer another world cruise in a few years and we can book that. 🙂 19 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Does Royal reimburse you (assuming you bought the cruise insurance) for days/weeks that you have to miss? That sure would influence my decision in the future to try a world cruise. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RFerrington Posted April 27 #4694 Share Posted April 27 I will add my thanks to you for all you have done to keep us in the loop, @LadyZolt and also add my concern for your family situation. It's a double whammy for you and your family and I'm deeply sorry that it's happening. Best wishes to your family and sending good thoughts your way that things are favorably resolved. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MJSailors Posted April 27 #4695 Share Posted April 27 @LadyZolt I have enjoyed following your journey as I have been reading your posts and admiring your photos. It is concerning for you to have to leave the ship halfway into the adventure, but you have certainly traveled to places that some of us will never see in person. Hoping your family situation is something that can be positively resolved. Take care MJ🙋🏻♀️ 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Your pictures have been awesome, along with your commentaries. I showed my DH your pictures of Viet Nam. Jim served in the Army there during the Viet Nam War. He was very thankful to see your pictures. Best wishes to you with regard to your family situation back home.🙏 Safe travels. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
