Interesting!  I went to Cruisemapper.com and indeed they list the Equinox as being in port for Halong Bay, but offer no further identification of the port. When I go to their Port Map option, it just shows a pin in the water rather than at a pier as you can see on the attached screen grab.

HALONG BAY Port Map and Cruise Schedule CruiseMapper.pdf

Thanks for your quick reply.  
A Google search I had made earlier turned up a website https://www.visithalongbay.com/ in which they claim:  

There are currently four possible ports where international cruise liners dock:

• Van Hai Port
• Cai Lan Port
• Vinashin Port
• Halong International Cruise Port

It then describes cruise lines that visit Halong Bay and claims: 

3. Celebrity Cruise
Celebrity include Halong Bay on many of their Asia itineraries, often paired with ports in Japan, Taiwan and Thailand. The Celebrity Cruise ship typically docks in Cai Lan Port although this is subject to change.

Maybe this information is out of date.

Hello!  Can anyone tell me which port in Halong Bay (Hanoi), Vietnam, Celebrity ties up at?  It appears there are 4 possibilities.

The lists are not current and subject to change

 

 

 

I posted some from our Dec cruise but it will give you an idea of prices etc...

If anyone either currently onboard (you’d have to be bored to be reading the Forums while cruising, but...) or planning to cruise in the near future could you please post a photo of a current wine list, I would be very appreciative. I have downloaded wine lists from most of the dining venues, but of course, they show no pricing. After returning home from an 11 day cruise on the Rivera 5 years ago, I went thru all my receipts to see if I would have been better off buying a drink package. Back then, glasses of wine were typically $9-$12 (before tips) with an average price of about $10, and the bottles I purchased ranged from $36 to $54 (again, before tips) with an average price slightly over $40. The House Select beverage package was $34.95/day back then, now $39.95. My out of pocket for all alcoholic beverages was $667 including tips. If I had purchased the House Select package (and drank the same amount) I would have spent $1080. Likewise , with the Prestige Select package I would have spent $1321. Going on another cruise on the Rivera this fall and unless bottle and glass prices have soared in the past 5 years, I’m probably going to pay as you go, and maybe bring some onboard.

I was researching smoking policies on the various cruise lines and came across the CC articles on alcohol policies.

 

 

 

This article on Oceania

 

is at odds with what has been posted here, namely it states a 3 bottle maximum per cabin for wine and no spirits. I can only assume that:

 

 

 

I don't doubt the posters here, but I am a pessimist so I am worried that although others are OK, I'd be challenged if I brought more than 3 aboard.

The following is a copy and paste from the Oceania website https://oceaniacruises.zendesk.com/hc/en-us/articles/360005405394-What-is-your-alcohol-policy-for-bringing-bottles-on-board- :

We are pleased to inform you that Oceania Cruises has revised the policy for bringing wine onboard.

We have now increased the limit to 6 bottles per stateroom. The exception being the world cruises for which we will allow up to 60 bottles per stateroom however this only applies to guests who are booked on the full world cruise or any of the variations of the full world cruise as listed below.
