After taking the Chia Regal cruise flowing from Chongqing to Yichang, i enjoyed the beautiful scenery and chinese culture along the Yangtze river. It is really a fantastic trip, but this is only one thing i want to mention is the time schedule of the cruise ship. Every day we need to get up very early to disemabark the ship to visit the sightseeings along the river. Sometimes, we need to get up as early as 6:00 am. and then in the afternoon, we got much free time, nothing to do. We just wondering if the cruise company can make the time schedule more reasonable to us.
