Review summary

Great ship, great crew. The food and activities are geared to Chinese clientele. So, if you are an English speaking westerner, I would not recommend this trip.

The crew was great and the menu is geared to the Chinese market, especially the windjammer.

The pool and hot tubs were good. The solairium is not adults only.

Great ship and staff

Ship Quality

5 out of 5
The 270 room was my favorite place. I think all their new ships should have that room instead of the aqua show.

Cabin / Stateroom

4 out of 5
I was a solo traveler and the inside cabin was studio sized.

Ship tip

Do not sail on this ship unless you love Chinese food and speak Chinese.
