For you post the question here, I presume you refer to the Yangtze River Cruise. Well, you can book the cruise online and go to Chongqing or Yichang to enjoy! But if you do mean the cruise from Beijing to Shanghai, I'm afraid no one is available.

John, I took the cruise six years ago. The bars were open very early. Yes, the beverage was very expensive. But it depends on what you drank. I didn't find snack area on the ship. Well, it actually depends on what ship you choose. I heard that there were some new luxurious ships on the Yangtze River now. Didn't know what facilities they provided.
