Dear Evelyn,

We are having a wonderful time onboard the ship. Even though the ship is delayed for one day due to weather, the cruise company managed it so well that we're able to complete the original itinerary. That's a great achievement.

The staff onboard are excellent, I think it's a 6-star service.

Yes, the tour to Qu Yuan's hometown is a wonderful surprise for my wife especially and myself, it's like a bonus :-)

Hope you have a nice day.

Brgds
