Creator's Key Takeaways

Royal Caribbean has pulled out of the China cruise market the past few years, but now they have finally returned!

I think Wonder would be very successful over in China and obviously they thought so in the first place back in 2019 when they announced that.

It's definitely a different type of cruising of course that of course that's why anytime we see a ship especially new build specifically that are going over to China usually they are purposely built for it.

Creator's Tips & Advice

βœ“Consider booking Spectrum of the Seas for a China cruise as it was purposely built for that market.
βœ“Be prepared for cultural differences and a focus on gambling when cruising in China.
βœ“If you want to visit Japan, consider a sailing out of Japan instead of China.

πŸ†•New to Cruising? This Creator Addresses:

Cultural differences and language barriers β€” Understand that most crew and passengers may speak Chinese, and the experience will be different from a Caribbean cruise.
Focus on gambling rather than traditional cruising β€” Be aware that the China market caters to gambling, and ships may have larger casinos and shorter itineraries.
