I want to do this cruise so bad! The roll call is shaping up nicely, so many good friends. Alas, I can't justify it as we've been to so many of these ports more than once. I will be waiting for the sea mail though
Arlene Adventure before Dementia!

Arlene, once you've been almost everywhere, you just start all over again! I hope you and Marc will join us, but you sure have a lot planned already!

We have decided to cancel this cruise and do Hong Kong to Bangkok in 2020 instead. We will certainly miss travelling with this wonderful group. Wishing you all a great cruise!

This cruise opened up for Regent air today so we have been working on the bookings with custom air. There are 75 people on this cruise and 3 cabins on a wait list. I had not realized how big this trip had become. Really looking forward to this cruise. Love starting in Shanghai and seeing more of Japan

Too bad you guys bailed out too soon. Regent just offered to let us cancel SAMURAI, take the Dec 15, 2018 Sydney to Bali cruise for the same price and get a $2233.00 cash rebate. We're already on the Dec 15 cruise, so no deal. What might come next if they're too far oversold? Jim

Samurai pin just arrived. Black and red glitter I think it is one of my favorite pins. The red and black glitter really pops the pin. Made my day!!

If you booked specialty restaurants on line and have email and Final Cruise Summary reservation confirmations, still check with the restaurant reservation desk on the deck 6 promenade near the Horizon lounge. On the last 3 segments our confirmed reservations weren't in the ship's computer. Somehow the link between Miami and the ship doesn't work.

For those of you still packing for SAMURAI, last week in Beijing it was sunny with no smog. Jackets in the morning and t shirts by lunchtime. Same this week on the Yangzi with afternoon temps reaching 75 or more. Shanghai is reportedly warmer. Fruit trees are in bloom. See you all soon.

Cruise Director mixup because Margaret had a brother die so Paul was sent to the Voyager and John Barron is being extended until Apr 15 on the Mariner.

Thanks for all that information Jim. Much appreciated. Good idea to check dining reservations with a full ship if there is a mix up may be hard to change.
Sorry to hear about Margaret’s brother. Amazing how quickly they change things around. Right now they have a group of good cruise directors. Paul or John both are great.
Glad you are enjoying your Chinese land trip and the weather is good. It makes such a difference. On the river I loved the childrens kindergarten visit and the markets. Great memories from Pagoda.

Did you eat a scorpion, Jim? My husband Jerry ate one when we were in China, much to Ngaire’s horror. He actually asked the vendor to put sugar on it and he said it was “ok”. Continue to enjoy your adventure! ——————— Helen

Great shots - I clicked on the four links that did not show and pictures came up fine. Looks like a wonderful trip. The pictures of the Pandas are great. I assume you went to the breeding center just about short drive from Chengdu. That is a well designed and delightful place to visit. With TOTO toilets and fresh flowers in the stalls when I went last. Could not believe how sparkling clean the toilets were. Those red pandas are gorgeous animals. Pandas are are so much fun to watch and you see them so well at the breeding center. All the pictures bring back great memories - including Jerry eating that scorpion! I always enjoy China. In fact very happy to be flying in your direction at noon today. See you soon and thanks for posting those pictures. Made my morning.

Great photos Jim ! We LOVED visiting the pandas in Chengdu !! Did you hold one ?? I did and it was so special (except he was more interested in eating the apple I was holding than cuddling with me). I've loved reading your blog and following your journey too. What is that food ?? I clicked on this link
