Hi Leo,
Hope you’re well.
In summary, the river cruise was very good. The rooms were very nice, food was nice and the staff very friendly and welcoming.
There are a few minor development points that we have noted:
- the activities on board should be included (and the gym equipment should be better maintained);
- a meal upon embankment would have been very nice; and
- we were provided western food on the first night this should have been a choice prior to embankment, as we preferred a more traditional Chinese meal, which we requested for the second night.
Again, I would like to re-iterate that the tour was very good.
Thanks,
Steve
Dear Johnson
We had a lovely cruise & we are very pleased to answer your survey questions.
1. Joseph as our travel consultant you were outstanding. Your answers to our queries were always immediate & detailed. Thank you. Also the guides provided before & after the Cruise were really good for sightseeing & transfer to Yichang Station. The Bullet Train was very special & greatly enjoyed.
2. First Class.
3. Yes, definitely.
4. Excellent.
5. Two observations for Century Cruises would be:
a. A meal (not necessarily a full dinner) should be available on the embarkation evening & be part of the package cost for the Cruise.
b. The Service Charge would be more correctly gathered at the end of the Cruise. A 15% service charge for drinks/all extras is excessive - 5% is more realistic & reasonable.
Perhaps you could make these points to them.
6. Yes - unfortunately we don’t have electronic photos. Our cruise experience was recorded by camcorder & hence is on cassette. We then, by cable, play on our television when we return home next week.
Joseph very many thanks again - we are having a great time with our younger son in Shanghai & are about to leave for a long weekend approx 3 hrs away & ‘Up Country’.
With best wishes
Bob & Elizabeth
