jo-b Posted February 7, 2020 #1 Share Posted February 7, 2020 Just a heads up for anyone following events in Asia, our Millennium Cruise has now been curtailed completely and will end in Singapore on 10 February. Celebrity have done wonders with a fluid situation, the staff onboard are working extra hard sanitising, office staff have juggled and rearranged ports and tours to try and give us as near as they could the cruise we booked. All with good humour and helpfulness, which has not always been appreciated by passengers. 4 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare calicakes Posted February 8, 2020 #3 Share Posted February 8, 2020 Since I'm not familiar with the itinerary of that cruise, can you tell me what ports you were able to go to and what you missed? Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cruiserchuck Posted February 8, 2020 #4 Share Posted February 8, 2020 Hopefully the ship will be able to dock in Singapore. Many other ports in Asia are refusing to allow ships to dock. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jelayne Posted February 8, 2020 #6 Share Posted February 8, 2020 Sounds like a good ending to a unique (hopefully) situation. Sounds like X is taking care of their guests. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Denny01 Posted February 8, 2020 #7 Share Posted February 8, 2020 A refreshing thread and posts recognizing the major issues these cruise lines are facing currently in Asia. Den 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks. We went to the 3 Vietnamese ports we should have gone to, 2 Japanese ports were cancelled upfront and replaced with Manila, Manila was replaced by Kota Kinabalu, then Taiwan was replaced by Halong Bay which then changed their mind and then by Bangkok, then KK said we couldn’t land there so we are heading straight for Singapore. Apologies if some of the changes are incorrect, we have honestly lost tack. Lord knows how the staff feel. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
upwarduk Posted February 8, 2020 #9 Share Posted February 8, 2020 Jo, Hope you and Albert manage to get a flight home without too much hassle. Did you book Air via Celebrity? I have read they are doing the rescheduling. Stay safe. Cheers, Jackie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good post, especially amidst the post designed to scare others and blame cruise lines over coronavirus now prevalent across CC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was upset on our last cruise when we skipped Key West and went to Labadee, Haiti instead. That one little change pales in comparison to have an entire itinerary changed.

It was the OP who quoted your post and you stated “I can’t imagine what you all were feeling when everything was changed.”. My interpretation of the OP’s response was they felt confused by all the changes, followed by 2 winks. Edited February 9, 2020 by Oville Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My interpretation of the OP’s response was they felt confused by all the changes, followed by 2 winks. I think, also, that's what the OP meant. Trying to keep up with their port changes they felt "confused". Easy to read it either way... these things happen when you're able to hear how something is said.

You need to go to the X site and read the Travel Alert (you find the link at the very top of the page... click on Learn More). I did find this: The Celebrity Millennium voyage of 2/29, departing from Singapore, has been modified and will now debark in Tokyo on 3/14 instead of Hong Kong.

We have received the modified itinerary from celebrity. The cruise that just returned a week early to Singapore had the same itinerary as the one we are doing. It was supposed to be disembarking in Tokyo to pick up more passengers on the 15th. It has also disappeared from their website. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
