This may be a long-shot, but has anyone here cruised the Quantum in Asia? I've never even really considered visiting Asia but a couple of days ago we received an in-box alert on a deal for a land-and-sea package that's an almost unbelievably good deal. We've checked out the details and found that the offer is legit and now we're seriously thinking about booking it for Christmas 2018.
I'm looking for any feedback you might have if you've sailed this route. There's some stuff over on CC, but surprisingly little - maybe due to the fact that there are only a handful of Westerners (or what they apparently call "International" passengers) that take these trips. I'm most interested in knowing whether or not we could blend in, given that the on-board experience is apparently very customized for the Chinese traveler. I'd also be curious about just exactly what is different from the cruise experience we're used to.
Culture-shock isn't really a problem - we sometimes have that even when travelling to the States! I don't expect other parts of the world to be like home. But we are used to a certain uniformity of experience on cruise ships. All input will be very helpful. TIA!
