“Left before disembarking. Totally disappointed, they had assigned seating and we didn’t like our location even though we were one of the first on the boat. Staff was not friendly, but this could have been a language issue. We definitely were not happy. Pass on the cruise and just walk across the dragon bridge for a great view of the fire-breathing dragon.”
Pick a bay, a mountain pass or a plastic stool.
