Our group consisted 8 senior adults. We booked 4 rooms for the 4D 3N cruise from Chongqing to Yichang. We enjoyed the cruising, the food, the sightseeing, and the service. However, 2 aspects may need to be improved : 1) the upgraded "VIP dining" was not worthwhile; 2) we were prepared for the RMB150 per guest more..

The trip was good, the only reservation I have is that it is geared towards group bookings and the needs of the self-booked traveller are overlooked. On trips off the boat I was randomly attached to a group, and for every meal I was placed with a Spanish group which spoke liitle English and as I speak no Span more..
