zitsky Posted April 8 #1 Share Posted April 8 I don't know MSC. I am interested in a cruise that circles Japan but they only seem to have 3/4/5 day cruises that go to Taiwan. Am I stuck booking with Celebrity on the Millennium? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heartgrove Posted April 9 #2 Share Posted April 9 The website shows an 11-night cruise that circles Japan on Oct. 2 - Oct. 13, 2024. Nothing is shown for 2025 but given past history there should be a similar cruise in 2025. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ready2cruzagain Posted April 9 #4 Share Posted April 9 Not much showing for 25/26 period. I am still waiting on the Caribbean cruises for that time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As an FYI: On Facebook, someone had shared a link a while back that showed the Bellissima on the berthing schedule for the Port of Los Angeles/Long Beach in late 2025. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks for the Head Up! It looks like 7-night sailing beginning 10/04/2025 from LA. That also raises the question of a possible Grand Voyage to arrive at LA. Ho about Japan Transpacific to LA?

I have been wanting to sail on Meraviglia's sister ships for a while now and that would be a great way to sail on Bellissima. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We have sailed from San Diego twice on on 7-day cruises to Cabo, Mazatlan, and PV, and stopped in Ensenada returning fro a 18-day RT to Hawaii to satisfy government requirements. Seven night cruises from LA won't travel far down the coast though. Still - would definitely book it! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I did HAL @ the end of 2019. Twas AWESOME! The weather was perfect - not too hot & not too cold! The itinerary was not too port intensive -- enough sea days to rest. The ship would load the local fruits & this would be available on the theme nights @ the buffet. Of course the special fruits would all be gone very quickly. We would look at the menu for dinner @ the main dining room & head up to the buffet for a walk through. Unsure if it's still the same after the pandemic. Pax would be mixed from Asia/Australia/USA/Europe. Nice mix! I usually will pick Celebrity.. a little more livelier. Hal just happened to have a promo & I like the Ports--. I think you should give it a try! (but if you need your evening entertainment... it's not as exciting. 🙂 Edited April 18 by jumpjump Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
