When I suggested this cruise my girlfriends family (Canadian Chinese) said they wouldn't go on such ASIA heavy cruise - this was a bit worrying. However, we've travelled in Beijing and around the Hunan province so we fully know what the Chinese culture can entail and were therefore felt forearmed.
The staff and management try their best to stop queue jumping and rude guests, but they can't stop it every-time.

Good large balcony with two reclining loungers.
Room was quiet and was close enough to stairs and lifts.
