We are planning to book the Norway Fjords cruise on the Marina.  There is only one sea day on this cruise so I think the spa would not be a high priority.  Priority access to restaurants might be the only perk worth booking the Concierge cabin.

 

Thanks to everyone that has replied!

You also get three 20-items of free laundry (wash and fold), which we find is a very nice perk. We also like having access to the hot tub on the spa deck.

Interested in recent experiences going from the port of Miami to the Miami airport. Any problem getting a taxi?

We requested a refund of our canceled Alaskan cruise on April 27. The full refund was posted on our credit card today.

Hello fellow AMA cruisers! We leave the end of the month for AMA's Enticing Duoro, Portugal. While we have been on 4 other rivers with AMA, this cruise is a bit unusual as there is no night crusing and more bus travel to get where we need to be, which is fine. I have searched but find no "recent" reviews. If anyone can share their experiences, we would appreciate it. We are staying in Porto 2 nights after the cruise on our own. Thank you!

We are doing AMA's Enticing Duoro next year. Hope you a post a review when you return. Safe travels and have a wonderful time.

I've received 21 so far and they're still coming.

Both Riviera and Marina usually have at least 4 sets. On last Feb on Marina and previously on Riviera. We usually bring our cards as there may not be any up to date ones.

Planning to bring my card. Just hoping someone can confirm there's at least one set on board.

I'm hoping that someone currently or recently on Riviera can answer my question. Is there a one mahjong set in the card room? I'll be on board in January and looking forward to playing on sea days. Thanks, Anne

We did this cruise in 2014 and it was an absolutely fantastic trip. Agree with the suggestion of going early and staying afterwards. Singapore and Hong Kong are both wonderful cities.

Our five days in Vietnam were the highlights of the trip. We booked private excursions with Tony from Ann Tours https://www.anntours.com/. In HCMC we did a tour of the city as well as a trip to the Mekong Delta. We did a tour of Hue. And, on Tony's recommendation we spent a night off the ship in Hanoi. It's a long 4-hour ride to Hanoi from the port and we were very glad we opted to stay overnight in a beautiful 5 star hotel. For each of these tours, we were joined by 2 or 3 other couples whom we "meet" on our roll call.

If you would like more information, please feel free to contact me at ayoung607 AT gmail DOT com. Anne

Just booked a 21-day cruise on Sirena, Samba to Seashells, Rio to Miama, Jan. 20 - Feb. 10, 2018. When I went to the Sirena roll call list, I found a roll call for those dates, but with the title Tasman Marvels, 20 January 2018 Auckland to Sydney. How can I get the correct cruise listed?

If you're taking this cruise and haven't yet checked out the roll call, please do so. It's at http://boards.cruisecritic.com/showthread.php?t=2277863

Asaga,

 

There are several of us on the Insignia Around the World 2016 that would be very interested in your information re: Mekong Delta cruise.

 

Would you feel comfortable sharing the company/itinerary with us on that thread? thanks!

We were also on the Nautica last February. I've just posted some information on your roll call.

It's been a while but in Bangkok we were right up the river near the heart of the city. It was quite an experience just making our way up the river!

 

In Saigon - again we sailed up the Mekong right into the middle of the city. We walked from the ship to the huge market, saw the Rex hotel, the post office (it's beautiful), etc.

 

Hopefully Nautica will continue to go the rivers into these beautiful places.

We were on the Nautica last February. Our experience was the same as this poster's. We were near the city centers in both cites. Sailing up the rivers was amazing.
