4.5 stars cruise. Very good but not top notch.
We went on a 3 days 2 nights cruise.
Pros:
- Get the bus transfer from Hanoi, amazing service with luxurious bus.
- Very good service on cruise.
- Quality local food, excellent presentation.
- Crew helped celebrate special occasion.
- Happy hour on boat.
- Great room, bathroom and balcony.
- Amazing landscapes all along
- Very few people on the boat, quiet environment.
- Cruise follows less crowded itinerary on bay.
On the con side:
- The 3 days trip actually lasts a total of 48 hours and you spend the 2nd day (8 AM to 3 PM) on a smaller boat without access to a private room.
- You have to pay for your drinks during meals including water which shouldn't happen given the price you pay
- Very few activities out of the boat: 45 min of kayak the 1st day, 2 hours of kayak + small crowded beach on 2nd day, 45 min cave visit on 3rd day.
- Very small cruising time: ~2h a day and the boat spends the night at the same location every night, with several boats around you.
In summary, the experience is unique and worth it.
The biggest issue is that the cruise is a very profitable business and you truly feel it: there are more than 500 cruises every day in the Ha Long bay and 70 in the Bai Tu Long bay (2nd day). The boat goes back and forth every day to pick up new clients and drop the previous one. While the guide makes the effort to memorize your name, the trip doesn't really feel personal as you are just one more client. We were expecting more activities and history about the bay.

I booked Signature Halong Cruise after sufficient research, and then I was assigned a cabin on the Signature Royal Cruise, which is a different boat. This happened without the company providing me any notification that a switch was made.

We had a wonderful time on Ha Long Bay with Signature Cruises. The staff was wonderful, everyone made sure we were all happy with our trip. Ha Long Bay is beautiful. 3 Days/2 Nights is the perfect time to spend on the cruise. It gave us time to relax and enjoy the area. We didn't feel rushed and the extra day provided time to see Ha Long area with less tourist. Definitely a must do.

set sails to the bay of dreams
Very friendly helpful crew.Food was great on first day but only average the second day, Felt a bit pushed to have alcoholic drinks initially as no alternative was offered ( the drinks are not paid for and provide extra revenue for the company) Instead of shower had Jaccuzi in en suite bathroom which provided great hot water but jets were not working.The views and the tour out on small boates to a fishing village were a great experience, the tour guides were knowledgable and very helpful. the landscape is a breathtakingly beautiful

UNDERWHELMING EXPERIENCE
Overall, it was fine. But the activities were quite boring and stretched out too long. The trip is nice, but too boring, with not much to do. I wish they would condense all of the experiences into just 1 day because it's absolutely possible to see and do everything in a day. Both days, we spent over 4 hours traveling back and forth on small boats from the main boat to see something/ do an activity that itself was for 45 minutes! It's kind of ridiculous.
The food onboard is quite mediocre. On the main cruise boat, the presentation is nice, but flavors are totally not on point. Believe me, this is coming from a food blogger and food critic. You will delicious food anywhere on the streets of Vietnam that cost 1/5 the money and has 5x the taste!
It was ok, nothing to write home about.

Staff threw trash bags off the back of the boat
Overall it was an amazing trip, but significantly soured when I saw three large bags of trash being thrown off the back of the boat in the middle of the day. I realize that the garbage generated by tourists has to be handled in some way, and no matter how it is handled it is not pretty. However, there has to be better options than throwing it off the boat.

Making a lot out of a little - but stunning.
Beautiful surroundings even though it was misty and rainy. Calling this three days and two nights is misleading though, you arrive lunchtime the first day and leave after a late breakfast on the third morning so actually less than 48 hours. Lots of food, 4 or 5 courses is too much. The food is good, but not very Vietnamese, and if you've been enjoying local specialities it will seem a bit bland. There's isn't actually very much to see so the cruise company make a lot out of not very much, but this does mean that whatever excursions you do go on you'll be there with groups from lots of other cruise ships. The ship itself is lovely especially if you book a room with a balcony and the views are stunning. The staff are mostly very friendly and helpful.
