I haven't been on Regent for awhile. From what I remember, the excursions opened up for booking at midnight Eastern time. So, I thought I'd look at 9PM Pacific. We can see the excursions now, which we couldn't previous to this point. But, they all say 'Sold Out'. I think we have to wait until 8pm Eastern on the 7th. Hopefully, then they will be available to book.

Well got our picks in. Sort of. Bugs me that in ports where we are there over night it won't let me pick two excursions. One each day.

Almost forgot to do our 2nd half excursions, but did them yesterday.
Was able to book everything we wanted except Ishigaki ( Sakishima Islands), Japan
Still shows no excursions available at this time. Interesting???
All I want is 02-24-2024 ISH-003 Panoramic Ishigaki 3.0 hour tour.

So looking forward the the Singapore to Hong Kong cruise. We know a lot of the guests on this trip and look forward to some good times during the cruise. There are about 50 guests in the group and quite a few from this group are staying on until Hong Kong.

Kim and Alice and Tim and Miriam are on and you probably know that already. KIm and Alice and Mitch and Bert taught me Rummikub on the Explora trip and I look foward to playing that game again. I bought one set with me and there will be more sets on the ship. You saw us playing on our last trip and you are welcome to join. Super easy to learn, one game and you have it down.

See you soon!!!

On Cruise Critic there are a number of people very upset because they do not any of their Visas yet. Think most of them were doing them on their own.
I assume we have ours which we got through Regent. Noticed a vague comment on our documents.
WOW! About 50. That is great. To bad they are not on LCT. waah wonder

Singapore is a magical city. We did the Hop A Bus and that worked great. Internet was so good I downloaded shows to my phone. Wish I had bought my IPad. We visited the Gardens on the Bay and the botanical gardens. Pretty tired by the end of the day. Pictures to follow.
