Overall a great experience. Our ship was held up initially due to fog, we were reimbursed and updated regularly via email.
The ship was pleasant enough and quite layed back. The on board drinks and excursions were extremely expensive though. The ports were often along way out of the tourist areas so do your homework as we did and get your own tickets and trips booked before you go.
The entertainment was really good and the lectures on sea days were very informative. I really enjoyed relaxing in the Sauna area too!
Really enjoyed the inside cabin. Slept really well every night. Lovely and clean and spacious.
We did Beijing on our own. Book bullet train and day trip to the Great Wall. Stayed 2 nights in a hotel. Fabulous place so much to see!
