:cool:Hi we will be doing Cuban fusion in Feb 2018 does anyone know if any of the ports we will be visiting are near to a beach or town as we don't want to do excursions every day . We would like the option of doing our own thing where possible thanks

Hi jake 26 thanks for the info it's much appreciated

hi could any one tell what the food is like on Thompson Discovery in the main dining room .has anyone got sample menus it would be greatly appreciated thanks

As others said check out the Chinese Embassy website. Have visited China and never heard of a group visa. They are issued only to individuals. No idea what you are talking about. If you cruise goes to China suggest you visit your roll call.

I have done a bit of research you can get a group visa for small groups as long as all the people who are in the group enter / exit together and travel together for the three days we are in China this will ideal and at a third of the cost

We will be arriving by sea from South Korea they only require a copy of the passport and proof of hotel reservation

Hi we have an upcoming cruise to China has anyone ever used or heard of 5 STAR CHINA TRAVEL.they are advertising.Type A group visas at £80 p.p and lasts for 16 days .They require a copy of a hotel reservation. As we will be staying one night in Beijing I am wondering if this will give us eligibility for the group visa

THANKS

I have just learnt that an entry visa to China now costs £195 .the new visa lasts two years ,Whitch is ok for people who visit regularly but not for tourists visiting for a few days .I think it's over the top and no doubt will have an impact on tourism

This debate goes on and on the cruise lines should pay a proper wage ,and not rely on tips .they should be for good service over and above the norm .People should not be guilt tripped into paying them

If the cruise lines paid the staff a proper wage we wouldn't keep having the same debate time after time .tipping should be for good service at your disgression over and above the norm .not trying to guilt trip people into paying gratuities

I've been to San Juan peutorico and some other. Caribbean ports and didn't feel threatened at all as previously said take usual precautions as you would in any holiday resort and you should be fine

Hi I read that on the millennium we won't have any self laundry facilities . So could anyone tell me as celebrity don't allow irons to be carried on board how you are supposed to avoid looking as though you have slept in your clothes because you have not ironed them
