- Call on the port of Dalian, China
- Late arrival due to late departure from Qingdao.
- Potential time ashore was shore, so I opted to just stay onboard. I've been to Dalian quite a few times, so I've seen all the main sights. However, I was looking forward to visiting my favorite Chinese foot massage place there.

- "Turnaround Day"
- Hosted local friends Carol and Annette for lunch and a tour of the ship.
- Glad I didn't bother trying to go out. Tour buses got stuck in port traffic; it took them 2.5 hours to exit the port gates. What a nightmare!
