Answer #1

We took China Regal cruise on May Day. It was very good. The staff was very friendly and spoke very good English. They were very accommodating. All of the westerners on board, and the Chinese who I spoke with, also thought the food was great. The whole thing was well organized and I would recommend it to anybody. My one disappointment was that at the meals, a second glass of anything except water costs money, and each glass or cup of coffee was 20 Yuan, which seems a bit high when hey are pouring it out of a 15 Yuan bottle! But that was a very minor thing compared to all else being better than expected! Thanks for all your help. Even more than the cruise line, I would use your services again and would highly recommend you CITS to anyone needing travel services in China. Xiexie ni!

Answer #2

My family and I enjoyed a Yangtze River & Three Gorges Tour with China Regal. I really cannot say enough about the caring attitude of the crew and staff of Regal China lines. We arrived in Chongqing in the morning of the departure, though the crew expected all passengers to arrive in the evening. The ship was at a “dock,” but was really not linked to the shore that early. We encountered three young ladies who were crew members and they immediately called the ship on their cell phone and the entire crew went to help us check in the ship with our luggage. We were allowed to put our luggage in our cabins and we went on to spend the day visiting Chongqing which was the reason why we arrived so early. The cruise was splendid. Facilities are exactly as shown in the photos on the website. The tour director, Howard, was outstanding and was very glad to share his knowledge of the region. His English was impeccable and his courtesy and professionalism were so memorable that my entire family remembers him. Food was plentiful and excellent with a great variety to choose from. Entertainment by crew members and other planned activities aboard ship were really fun. The entire crew and staff did everything they could to make our cruise more enjoyable. This cruise was one of the true highlights of our trip to China and I recommend it highly to anyone considering it. It lived up to all descriptions and the price was really very reasonable. If we are ever able to return to China, we plan to repeat this cruise. Everyone in my family, I, my wife, my 12-year-old son, and my 83 year-old mom included, all enjoyed each aspect of the cruise. So it offered a lot to different age groups and we never felt bored or unhappy on the cruise. I hope that I have been able to convey my high recommendation of this cruise and Regal China!

Answer #3

Our Yangtze River cruise on China Regal was a highlight of the trip to China last month. It was quite a nice ship with fine accommodations and well-trained staff. Going through the locks and seeing the incredible dam project was so impressive and excited. Our guide, Mr. Huang, he absolutely made the tour come alive every day with in-depth knowledge, good humor, and flawless attention to every detail. The local guides in each city, for the most part, were also very good.
