We were so looking forward to this cruise. We chose an up graded room as we wanted our experience to be special. We opted to go to Lan Ha bay as it is less crowded than Ha Long bay.
It was a long drive from Hanoi and we didn't board until about 1pm after a 7.30am pick-up.
There was a lengthy wait on shore before we boarded the tender which was very uncomfortable with hard bench seats and no back board to rest against. This journey took about 45 min to get to the main vessel.
Our suite on the 2nd floor was very spacious clean and comfortable. However other guests spoke of used toilet paper still left in the bins in their room and mold and dirt on the walls and blinds
The large windows between our suite and balcony needed a clean but otherwise the room was lovely.
It was not a cruise as such as the boat went to one location and dropped anchor. That was very disappointing as it would have been great to see more of the various karsts and the bay.
The activities were well organised and communicated to passengers.
The food was OK. Nothing outstanding. Small buffet fare.
The drink prices were completely exorbitant!! Much more than any city we had been in.
Full measures were not used in cocktails. My partner picked the bar tender up on this. Others commented on this too
Wine prices were 4 times more than what they are in Australia for the same bottle. Even local beer was double its usual price.
Staff were helpful and friendly enough but had limited English
Still, that was way better than my Vietnamese!

Pleasant staff, plentiful and tasty food, drinks not too expensive. Tour to cave overly busy, beach is not appealing. More could be done to make the beach a really fabulous attraction and maybe it will be eventually. The cave was too crowded, they should control the entry of people better. Overnight entertainment of Karaoke was OK, could have done things better, eg downloading songs sometimes had lag but hey we’re in the middle of the bay!

I went with an Australian tour group and had a fantastic time.
Mr Jack Sparrow and the team were excellent, plenty of activities around the bay and were treated to great food, drinks and hospitality
The boat is a little bit older but was well taken care of and I had a clean room with the essentials
Would absolutely do it again. Thanks team!
And Jill, if you ever read this - hi 🤭

Great fun- staff was incredibly kind and accommodating. The cabin room was clean I had a small balcony and shower amd toilet were nice and clean. Weather was gray and cloudy but didn’t matter too much they kept us busy with activities - hiking and swimming were fun and kayak was incredible - saw monkeys - I traveled alone and so I had to sit alone at a table - I wish they could have put my table between tables of other guests so I at least had someone to talk to my left and right but guests were friendly and made me feel welcomed
