Singapore to Bali Cruise - Any Reviews?

[lakegirl16]

Looking at Celebrity 12/23 cruise from Singapore to Bali.  Perhaps this is a newer itinerary, I am not finding much in this group about it.  Has anyone done this itinerary or one similar?  Would love any reviews or thoughts.  Thank you!

I think it's a new itinerary - I had a very similar trip with Millennium a few years back.  Highlights are Penang and Lombok.  From port Klang a trip to Kuala Lumpur.
Singapore and Bali are among my favorite destinations - I would recommend that you spend a few days both in Singapore before and Bali after your cruise.

Millennium is a smaller ship and probably one of the oldest in the Celebrity fleet - You might want  to get a review of Millennium.

Thank you!  Appreciate the information. Familiar with the ship, we've been on the Millennium before.

I actually consider Bali to Singapore in January 2024 - same ports of call.

I'd suggest staying in Bali, too.  We went early and used a wonderful, inexpensive driver to take us around to see things that weren't available to see using ship tours.  It was magical.

Bali is nice if you like sun and sand.

A quiet resort.

Yes, you definitely have to like sun in Bali.  Dress lightly but modestly, take water,  and don't over plan your days.  But sand is easily avoided if that's your choice.  We spent our first night in a hotel very close to a beach (Sanur).  But the rest of the time we were in the area of Ubud, toward the center of the island, and places on the way down to the port in Benoa.  To me Bali is so much more than sand and sun.

How much does it cost to hire a driver for the day for 2 people?

Some years since I used a private driver - I can highly recommend Deva - send a request by e-mail or WhatsApp and ask for price

We used the same private driver in Bali in December 2019 as "hallasm" did (Dewa).  It was well under $100 for a full day tour for the two of us.
