We chose this cruise because of the itinerary and newness of the ship, we were a little concerned because of some of the feedback we had read was not all complimentary, however this Cruise surpassed our expectations in every way .
Before the cruise We stayed a Radisson Blu new world which had a great central location near the people's square metro station, we got a 3 day pass which took us all around shanghai. The hotel had a shuttle to the cruise terminal
Embarkation took about 1hr 40 minutes but we were seated inside and provided with refreshments
Our cabin was near the front on Baja deck it was very comfortable and quiet ,
While we did feel some movement when the sea got up it was nothing to disturb us
The bed was very comfortable and we slept well.. it was quite a long way from the dining rooms, but handy to the theatre and crooners one of our favourite bars and easy access to the pool deck
