Dear Shirley,

We both enjoyed the cruise very much. I thought we would be having some free time but the entire cruise kept us quite busy. I have to say that I was initially quite worried as this is my first cruise but the whole journey was calm and smooth so I really did not suffer any bad effects during the entire cruise.

We joined 3 optional packages which were the 3 Kingdoms On Fire, White Emperor City and the Ship Lift. All of them were well organised and despite the rain during the visit to the White Emperor City, all of them were very enjoyable. Because of the 3 optional tours that we joined, we were also given a free visit to the ship's Captain's control room worth CNY 100.

We are very happy with the good service and communication provided by you during the pre-tour, purchase process and clear details provided making us confident to travel to Chongqing without joining a group tour from Malaysia. The ship staff were quite surprised that a Malaysian senior couple were travelling on their own as they used to receive a lot of Malaysians on group tours not privately.

We would like to express our utmost appreciation to you for making this cruise a memorable experience.

Thank you & best regards
