I would have to ranked this cruise as one of my best. We were a group of 8 who meet every night in the Gallery bar to be looked after by the staff there. The ship, the food and the staff were exceptional. We did as much or as little as we wanted. Enjoyed the guest performers on the main stage. The only disappointment was the BB Kings music. It lacked something! Groups of people doing line dancing to jazz music was a turn off. The duo pianists were a standout. Totally looked after by our room steward, Sabawa. The food in the main dining room was outstanding. Our our wine waiters were just the best!

Cabin / Stateroom
4 out of 5
The cabin was at the back of the boat underneath the back deck, so you did hear some scraping of chairs. But preferred that to being too close to the lifts and listening to the bell on the lifts, which I thought was quite load.
Ship tip
Go to the Gallery Bar and meet Roland, Gin and Lou. They will make your trip memorable.
Unfortunately my travel companion was sick this day so I just went to the shops just off the boat. They were okay. The ferris wheel was at the port as well.
We did the Forest Zoo in Dalian. Really large zoo. We visited this in the off season, so nothing was working, and very few people - pandas were all sleeping. Large zoo though, with plenty of animals.
