SailorJill and I Sail on the Orient Express a.k.a. Millenium's Immersion Cruise

[SailorJack]

I haven't read it yet but I wanted to be the first to say ...YAY another Sailor Jack review!

 

Hope you like it!:D

 

I was so eager to read this, having read Sailor Jack and Jill reviews before, that I am now late! But it is worth the aggravation that will surely commence because this review, as always, does not disappoint and has started my day off with lots of laughs.

 

I look forward to reading it again! Thanks for the day-brightener! :p

 

Glad you got a laugh out of it.

Another fantastic cruise review - thank you!! I keep a look out for your reviews and really look forward to them! I'm really looking forward to both Cafe el Bacio and the Martini bar after reading your descriptions

 

We're actually on the Millennium at the end of March and I was wondering what the embarkation was like at Shanghai?

 

Thanks

There are quite a few balms of tiger available on Amazon. Or do you need to purchase it freshly-squeezed from real tigers in Asia?

[hllwdcruiser]

Reading the excellent adventures of Sailor Jack and Sailor Jill never disappoint! Thank you for starting my day with a smile!

[LzyCruiser_NWA]

Excellent writing, thank you for bringing a ray of sunshine to my daily drab routine!

Thoroughly enjoyable review. This trip would have never been a part of my bucket list. Your review has vastly changed my opinion!

[JaniceB]

What an awesome review! Can't wait to see your pictures.

[SailorJack]

I just finished reading your amazing report while having my morning coffee. I was laughing so hard at your description of your pedicure and the buying of Tiger Balm, I was crying.

 

Amazing Immerison journey to Asia, thanks for sharing the highlights.

 

I can laugh about the pedicure now, but it was a unique experience at the time.:)

 

Always love to read your reviews!

 

Thanks...glad you enjoy them.

What??? Left over Pijiu??? That would never happen on a cruise ship, not even on a 7 day HAL sailing. :p

 

 

 

 

 

Did you spot Dana Delany?

 

 

Another great review Sailor Jack. I'm quite surprised Sailor Jill hasn't used the machete on you yet, it must be your good Canadian disposition and looks that have spared you all these years.

 

Thanks for the great reading. Right up there with Stewart McLean.

Sailor Jack, I thought I better requote myself. I'm not sure if it went through or if you saw it etc... I think you have had more success with your chopsticks than I have had posting on CC the last few days.

This is hilarious. Thank you so much for posting!

If you come back to Vancouver you can buy Tiger Balm in China Town:D

Great review. Eagerly waiting for the pictures

[David Kane]

Ok, THAT was funny. Well Done.

[Maligator]

Apologies for the multiple duplicate posts. I should have figured the glitch in the system would post it over and over.

Thanks!

[SailorJack]

Great as always! Loving it!

 

Glad you enjoyed it.

 

Love the commentary. I do wonder how you get into your situations. I too love to tell stories and yours and Sailor Jill's are great. :)

 

SailorJill has also wondered the same thing!:eek: I guess if you travel enough things just happen. I suspect similar experiences have happened to others but they just don't write about it maybe?

Wow, another Sailor Jack outstanding review.

 

I sure would like to tag along on one of your adventures, even it meant that I would have to hold your camel while you took photo's.

[KiwiFunCruiser]

Yes, top notch as usual.

Hi

I enjoyed your review. I can't master chopsticks either. DW gave me a pass during China river cruise/land tour. Probably a smart move since I can be a klutz even w. cutlery.:)

Maybe some of us have had similar experiences, but I doubt we can describe them in the hilarious way you do. You really have a talent for this.

[SPacificbound]

Sailor Jack and Sailor Jill, always a pleasure. Thank you for entertaining us once again. :D

[peyroutous]

Thank you Jack for a very well written, amusing and informative review.

Thanks. I am going to try and start uploading photos over the weekend. There is just a lot of editing to do as I took way to many.:eek:

[SailorJack]

Love your review! Sounds like a trip of a lifetime. One detail that caught my attention. With regards to the food on board ship, it sounds as if they provide local style dining. Can you also have dinners featured in their standard menus? Chicken breast, steak, salads???

Thanks,

 

Actually, most of the "immersion" meals were served in the Oceanview Café. There was one section there that served Asian food and another section that served stir fry. Still another section served a revolving menu of other foods each night - German, Spanish, French, etc. Still another section served what we in the US would consider more traditional foods.

 

While we only ate in the MDR about half the time, the meals served there were mainly standard menus - about the same as you would see on a cruise in the Caribbean or Mediterranean.

 

Jack

 

FABULOUS!!!! Thank you SO much!

 

Glad you enjoyed it ...thanks for your kind words.
