  1. Great posts to read as I embark Insignia in March for Tokyo Hong Kong segment of ATW. If any tips please advise. Spending 4 days Tokyo as pre. This trip was canceled 4 times over the last as many years and ships so happy to be finally going!
  2. What great reviews! I board in Tokyo end March and my anticipation just went up 100X. Thanks for heads up and keep enjoying.
  3. I prefer Seabourn for all the reasons OP stated but when I pick a region in which to sail Oceania’s are more interesting which is primary for me.
  4. I’m booked on the Nautica Jan ‘25 18 day Papeete to Auckland. Dreaming about it on this cold Jan ‘24 day
  5. The room service menu posted in #5 didn’t have any hot items in the breakfast section. I thought O had changed that?

    Thanks for helpful, encouraging replies.
  7. Anyone been on it lately? Sailing in March and can’t find any recent comments about her: ship shape? Dining? CD and crew? Thank you.
  8. Any recommendations for private guide in Tokyo?
  9. …or just a fruit juice and club Sosa?
  10. For me, itinerary is king but that being equal I’d go with Seabourn. The service is personal and exemplary anticipating nearly everything. Food imo is comparable. Cabin size/decor better. The difference in cost is often negligible (proportional to what I’m spending in the first place as a solo). But I really like O’s itineraries and the friendly, extensively well traveled passengers.
  11. I much appreciate a recommendation for a Toyo guide.
  12. I found the Seabourn app useful: it had my shore excursion bar codes, reminded me of the times, menus, activity times. Easier for me than walking around with the printed schedule. I would use if O decides to offer it. Don’t feel it’s either/or choice. Use what’s best for you.
  13. Seas were not that rough but there were chilly/rainy days. We did miss one day of scenic cruising through a fjord b/c of weather …
  14. In Hong Kong I relied on the hotel concierge for recos (Peninsula) who was spot on. Singapore was nothing fancy for me; a local dim sum favorite and a hawker food hall which is definitely not your style. Unfortunately didn’t retain info. But there are plenty of high end dining spots with fabulous views. Don’t miss the incredible nightly light show near the Marina Sands Hotel and the indoor botanical gardens.
