Overall it was a good cruise. Seven was is lovely, and easy to get a seat or lounge chair. There were around 200 guests, and perhaps 10-15 that spoke English. We paid the extra 3000 yuan to upgrade to an Executive Suite. If the boat is not full, this will be offered to you - or even 10,000 for the Presidential Suite. The rooms are much bigger, but the regular rooms are more than acceptable with private balconies. There is a separate dining area for the Executive Suites, but other guest can pay a bit more to use it. Apparently the food is better, and you get an allocated table. Buffet food was good and plentiful. Service is good - they generally don’t speak English well, but are friendly. You room is made up promptly every day. A drinks package is available at 799 yuan. This includes all drinks including cocktails. Good value if you drink a lot. We paid as we went instead. There is a 15% service charge on everything. It adds up. There are a number of optional tours. We didn’t take them up as we were not feeling 100%. They are around 299 yuan per person. The entertainment on the ship is pretty ordinary. A “live band” each night was a duo with an iPad for backing tracks, a keyboard player who played awfully and a female singer who was ok. There was also a cabaret show featuring the staff - great outfits but not very good. The Chinese guests seemed to enjoy it. For a cruise of this cost, there should be MUCH better entertainment. Please note a compulsory 150 yuan tip charge per person is added to your account. It is not disclosed.

Nach einem 2 tägigen sehr beeindruckenden Aufenthalt in Chongqing gingen wir abends 18 Uhr an Bord des Kreuzfahrtschiffes. Dort lagen wir noch einige Stunden und konnten die faszinierende Lichtershow von Chongqing vom Wasser aus bewundern. Es war ein Schiff mit 6 Decks, fast alle Kabinen waren mit Balkon, was sehr toll war, da man abends und nachts wunderbar draußen sitzen und die Eindrücke des Yangtze aufnehmen konnte. Neben uns 4 Deutschen waren noch 2 Westeuropäer auf dem Schiff, ansonsten nur chinesische Touristen. Die Atmosphäre auf dem Schiff war sehr angenehm, es war ruhig und erholsam, das Essen war hervorragend und die Ausflüge waren erlebnisreich. Die Kabinen waren schon etwas in die Jahre gekommen, aber trotzdem bequem. Wer die Möglichkeit hat, sollte diese fahrt auf jeden Fall machen!
