FredS Posted January 15, 2011 #2 Share Posted January 15, 2011 Did you go on the Ports of Call/Shore Excursions/Asia board on Cruise Critic and check for answers to your question? Here is a link to that board: http://boards.cruisecritic.com/forumdisplay.php?f=70 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
knittinggirl Posted January 15, 2011 #3 Share Posted January 15, 2011 Be very careful on the Great Wall. We went with a tour group in 1984, and one of our group actually had her passport and travelers checks stolen there. Make sure your valuables are either still on the ship, or in "hard to get to" place on your person. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maryandi Posted January 15, 2011 #4 Share Posted January 15, 2011 We did last year on the World Cruise. We went overnight to Beijing. Left the port and traveled to Beijing and had lunch, about a half hour drive from lunch was the Great Wall, we were there about an hour. Came back to town and went to the Olympic area, then to the Marriott City Wall hotel overnight and dinner & breakfast included (all meals were included). Next morning to Tienamen Square, Forbidden City, Peiking Duck lunch and the Temple of Heaven, back to the ship. Not one thing wrong - great trip. MaryAnn One lady fell in the restroom at the first pit stop and needed an ambulance, sadly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
