We are a retired couple from Australia and have done a number of cruises, but this is the first time with Royal Caribbean. The reason being we were meeting relatives from England who were on this cruise, one of which was mobility disadvantaged, needing to use a walker.
Travel to the Port of Embarkation at Tanggu went without incident, travelling on the airport coach to Tanggu and staying at the Holiday Inn Express for 2 nights. The taxi driver was very efficient and new where to go to get us to the shipping terminal and cheap too.
Embarkation wasn't a problem for us as we arrived early about 11.00 a.m. and there were only maybe 6 people in front of us.
Our cabin was a D2 category on deck 9 - balcony. The room was big and the bed was huge. Liked having doors on the shower instead of a curtain. A nice touch to have tea making facility in room, but on this occasion there wasn't any coffee sachets, only black or green tea.
