We were visiting family in Beijing and this cruise to Japan and a chance to experience the fast train between Beijing to Shanghai was too good an opportunity to miss. As noted on previous posts the embarkation and disembarkation is somewhat chaotic. I'm sure when the new terminal is complete it will be a more enjoyable experience. We were in a junior suite on deck 11 and this was comfortable for two persons. Due to the nature of the cruise both the Windjammer and main dining areas were best avoided. We took advantage of the ultimate dining package which included the six nightly meals and two lunches on sea days at any of the speciality restaurants. For USD141.00 each we felt this represented good value. They allowed gold and silver card holders private access to the Solarium and we could also have breakfast in the bistro. The ports were okay with the pick being Kochi. Would we do this cruise again, probably not although, it was an enjoyable experience.
