Service and Staff

We were served by Mark and Jiahui in the Silk Dinning Room , and both are young and smart., quick to respond on customers needs. Very conversant with their jobs,, advising us on choices of drinks and food. They have done another Mile and deserve my compliments with thanks.

Cabin / Stateroom

We have no complaint, the VR balcony is a genius design by the Cruise company and we like it.

Ship tip

If you book the excursion on internet before the setsail, please don't forget to get the tickets from the service desk once you boarded the ship. My experience is that they would not deliver the tickets to your stateroom.
