I recently did a two-day cruise in Halong Bay, and overall, it was a very enjoyable experience. A special mention goes to Frank, our guide, who was not only fun and engaging but also went out of his way to make sure we had a great time. His energy really added to the experience.
The food on board was good, with plenty of variety, and the big windows in the restaurant offered stunning views of the bay as we dined. Even though the cruise ship isn’t the most modern, and the tender boat could use a bit of improvement, the rooms were still comfortable enough for a short stay.
The highlight of the cruise was definitely the breathtaking scenery of Halong Bay. The natural beauty made any small shortcomings of the ship easy to overlook. If you're looking for a relaxing, scenic getaway with friendly service, this cruise is a solid choice.
