Thanks for the heads up!

Thanks for the review

I like deck 7

I did China/Tibet with Uniworld a few years ago. Tibet was definitely worth the additional cost. Very different from China.

The altitude is a concern but with planning, you will be OK. Had one person on the trip who stayed behind one day with some oxygen. I asked him if he regretted missing the day. He said no, think of all I did see in Tibet.

What a great outlook!

Thanks for the info!

My DH and I did China with Uniworld 2 yrs ago. Everything went flawlessly; guide was excellent. I will be happy to answer any questions.

I am enjoying..

I was on the Uniworld China/Tibet trip 2 1/2 years ago. I am mid fifties. Fellow cruisers were active early 70's. There was a group of 6 friends that were in their 30's.

This trip has a lot of walking and the days were full with no "active" options.

I also don't care for herding of the people and usually plan my trips accordingly but did make an exception for this trip. Everyone was very social which was enjoyable. The downside is the usual with larger groups:

-too long for meals esp lunch. Who needs an hour for lunch?

-bathroom breaks take longer. This was the most frustrating part of the trip esp with being in China. Only one western style toilet and a lot of eastern style. Almost all the ladies would only use the western. So, I would walk around for 20min or so waiting.....and waiting lol

However, I would do this trip the same way again so go and enjoy. We did get to Beijing a few days early and saw some sights not on the tour on our own.

Any questions, just ask 😄

You get cans of soda with the classic beverage package. I was on the Equinox last month and they had Coke Zero

The atrium area is nice to people watch but there is nothing comparable on the Equinox to the Promenade on Royal

Keep it coming....

I fly on the same day about 50% of the time. I do prefer the day before but work gets in the way. Next week, leaving departure day. I take the first flight out and taxi picking me up at 3:30am :o

Wish me luck!!!

Thank you for writing!

Keep it coming. I'll be on her next month!

Great review!

Keep it coming!

There were whiskey tastings a couple of nights this past September. I do not know if there was a fee

I was able to get a captain and coke on the Equinox this past Sept with the basic drink package

No they don't

I was there in mid January. Beautiful store

:cool:

Order room service every day ;)

Lol lol lol

If I do not book a balcony, I get a Promenade room. I love the window seat to people watch or see the parade.

I find that I feel the rocking more often on the smaller ships

The weather seems to have the most impact

I also love a moving ship 👍

Thank you for the review. Sorry to hear about the constant announcements.

Royal has a lot more pool activities than Celebrity.

It's the way it is.
