Commencing your cruise in China, you do not need an expensive visa if certain conditions apply.
My wife and I have recently returned (12-11-17) from a two week cruise in the Far East.
We joined the ship (Holland Americas cruise ship VOLENDAM) in Shanghai China.
Cabin Review
Large Ocean-View Stateroom
Too much furniture, addition of 2 seater settee resulted in cramped accommodation.
All a bit tired.
Not enough power sockets, one only
