Currently ending celebrity solstice…
Currently ending celebrity solstice Singapore to Hong Kong. Be aware that many of the ports were far away from the city and some were in container ports where there was nothing close by (Bangkok port was a 2.5 hour bus ride each way), Chan May was in the middle of nowhere, 2 hours to the nearest town or village, Halong Bay was gorgeous, but 3.5 to 4 hours each way to Hanoi if you want to go). Note: for Ha Long Bay, you have a couple of choices outside of the heavy priced shore excursions....Hop on Hop Off Bus comes to the pier when cruises are in. US $13 will get you a 24 hour ticket and you can get to the Ha Long Market, Flower Market, Museum, or even the beach. And if you take the free shuttle or walk to the pier admin building, you can get a 6 hour boat trip from one of the vendors to Sung Sot cave, Titop Island, and kayaking, lunch for approx USD $50 (vs $150+). Celebrity is certainly raking in shore excursion money by dropping you in hard to get anywhere places. Solstice is VERY tired, last refinishing was 2016 and it really looks it. Staff are great though and Dining Room food and service was really great (vs the buffet).
