Cruise Cruiser

Our cruise will be ending in Shanghai on what I understand is the Eve of Chinese New Year - Sunday Feb, 3 2019. We would like to spend at least one day/night in Shanghai before heading back to the US. Does anyone know if we should have any concerns about getting to the airport due to traffic disruption related to celebrations on Chinese New Year?

 

Thanks!

As a matter of fact, getting around in major cities in China around Chinese New Year would seldom encounter major traffic congestion, the holiday period will last for a week to ten days. Huge portion of the people that are employed within these cities would return to their home town for family reunion and deserted these major cities. I am sure that major hotels in Shanghai can get you reliable transportation.

We will be cruising out of Singapore on Feb 2/19 and wondering if anyone has used Eva airlines. We will fly Business class on points from Vancouver to Ho Chi Min on Eva, then Singapore air from there. Any problems with either airlines?Also, looking at staying at the Oasia Downtown Singapore hotel. Anyone stayed here?

Both excellent airlines, they are among the best in the commercial airlines industry. Both are known for their customers services. EVA is using Boeing 777 for their route between YVR & TPE. You will enjoy the "bed" and their business class services. You can even select your meals prior to departure (I think 30 days ahead).

Enjoy!
