I'll be on the Reflection for the transatlantic crossing by myself and then my partner (husband by US standards) will join me for this part of the trip. Looking foward to visiting/re-visiting these ports. We are from Munich, Germany.

Welcome! Can't wait to meet everyone!

Austin. And part of year, Anchorage. You always have family with you!

Austin and Anchorage. An interesting combination! We're from DC (by way of Ohio).

Welcome on board. Was starting to think my husband and I were going to be the only family. Where are you from?

Just checking to see if anyone else will be sailing with us

Our Turkey port was replaced by Cyprus for our July 2017 cruise on the Equinox. If it was due to safety issues, I'm ok. The Celebrity person I spoke with, though, said it was due to a lack of interest in the port. Think they were giving me the company line!

We just landed at 5 am this morning. We decided to get a private room at the Arrivals Lounge. It's $80/person and the room has free wifi, beds, and a shower. After a 16 hour flight from JFK, it was great to be able to shower and rest up before heading to the ship.

Hi peeps,

 

my partner and I are sailing on the Celebrity Millenium on 15th March and we are wondering if there will be any other friends of Dorothy on board. We're not even sure if the Millenium host FOD meetings. Any information would be greatly appreciated.

 

Cheers

Stan,

My partner and I and some other friends are on this sailing too. Celebrity has LGBT happy hours. The schedule is posted on the board right by guest services. We usually try to go and have met lots of other family on our past cruises.

Jeff

Thanks for the suggestions. One of my friends also suggested the pay the taxi to tour HK option too! Might be our best option. Don't really want to sit around for 4-5 hours with nothing to do when we can be exploring the city!

Where does your cruise depart from ? Ocean terminal in Kowloon or the new Kai Tak cruise terminal ?

The new Kai Tak terminal.

I also posted this in the Celebrity area, but thought it might get a better response here...

We are departing from Hong Kong this March. We are landing in Hong Kong around 5 am on the day the cruise leaves. Taking into account time clearing customs and getting from the airport to the terminal, I figure we'd get to the port around 7 or 8 in the morning. Obviously, that's way too early to start boarding. Does anyone know if there's a place to store our bags until we can start boarding or are we out of luck? For those who've done this cruise before and didn't arrive a few days early, what did you do? Thanks for your help. I searched the forums and couldn't find anything that addressed this question.

If not there, we usually always go to the LGBT happy hour on the first night. Celebrity usually posts the location/time on the daily activities board right by Guest Services

Hey there, know you saw this on regular roll call, but we will be on board too. Do you guys have confirmed dining plans? Ours was select. The first night we are doing Tuscan Grille, but then signed up for Celebreity Select at 8pm the rest of the nights.

 

Separately, think we're just going to wander Key West, and probably stop by Burbon Street Bar (where the giant shoe drops for NYE)

Hey there. We're open dining but we made reservations at 8 for all 4 nights just to be safe! Figured it was easier to cancel if needed than to get stuck eating a 5:30. We like Tuscan - have dined there on 2 previous cruises. Too bad this ship doesn't have Qsine.

We didn't make firm plans for Key West but had looked at possibly getting a day pass to one of the gay guest houses to spend the day. We were in Key West for business a few years ago so did lots of walking around Bourbon St. If we don't go to the guest house, we're just planning on wandering.

My husband and I are getting off the ship that day. Have a great sailing!

You too. Keep the ship in good condition for us :)

My partner and I just decided to book this cruise as a nice, relaxing holiday get away. Anyone else on this sailing?

Jeff & Tony (from Columbus)

Just realized that I misread the date. We're going in 2015 not this past March. Oops.

My partner and I from Columbus are on this sailing. We'll be with our friends from Florida and another couple that the 4 of us met in May on our Galapagos cruise! Can't wait.

Jeff and Tony

I'll be with the Pied Piper group.

We just booked with Pied Piper. Just got back from Galapagos with Pied Piper and also did Alaska in 2009 with them. Can't wait.
