I see it's been a while since you’ve posted, but I just wanted to ask if anyone’s done this route recently and noticed any big changes with port procedures or shore excursions? I'm planning something similar and curious how things have been going lately with local transport or getting around independently at the ports.
Not sure about the China trip on the 11th, but cruising after exploring places like Shanghai, Xian, and Beijing sounds amazing! Before this, I took a trip that included a komodo dragon tour and it totally changed how I see travel. The mix of adventure and chill cruising made the whole trip unforgettable.
