2024 first feedback to the Chongqing - Shanghai Yangtze Panorama Cruise

- weather not too good, but warm greetings and prompt replies make for a satisfying journey.

-April 9, 2024-

It's a gloomy, wet and rainy day in Guangzhou, but you really brighten up our day by saving us from missing our cruise!

-April 10, 2024-

Good morning Samantha. FYI, we've checked in, checked through security and waiting to board the flight to Chongqing. Thanks again for your help

-April 11, 2024-

Thanks Samantha. We have a very good day. We are now safe on board and well fed.

-April 16, 2024-

Good morning Samantha. Yes we are enjoying the cruise, learning a lot about Chinese culture and cuisine. The weather however, is not cooperating. It's been cloudy, windy, cool and wet, not good for picture taking.

-April 17, 2024-

Weather was very bad in Jiujiang yesterday, so we had a very short excursion and couldn't see the real face of Lushan. Then it got worst as the ship couldn't set sail until this morning and missed Chizhou and Mount Jiuhua entirely. But it's what it is. No body can control the weather.

-April 21, 2024-

Sorry for the late reply. Sunrise was very nice and checked us into a nice room at 8:30 am. It's been a while since we were in Shanghai, and it is a wonderful, clean city that's very vibrant.

It has been sunny and warm the last four days.
