Hello, can you check for us two cabins on the 5th & 6th of Dec? We are a family of 5 (with a kid under 4 years old). The kid will sleep with us so we don't need an extra bed.

Hi, Is there an accessible room ?
No we dont

Yes we do
Hi I am looking at a two day cruise leaving December 20 and returning December 21, 2024. I would need 2 rooms as well as roundtrip transportation from the Hilton Garden Inn in Hanoi. Please send me information. There are 4 of us going. Thank you
Our travel consultant will send you detail via email.
There are a variety of activities available. Everyone was incredibly courteous, especially Camille in the restaurant, who adapted to our food sensitivities by having the chef prepare different dishes for us. We'd certainly book again.
There were just a few drawbacks, the beers in cans were not cold, so we had to wait longer for them to be placed on ice.
To tell the truth, I did not like it so much, I think it was expensive for what they offered and the tour was very nice but the time that they give you to do it is everything in a hurry.
The food alone accounts for the whole expense of this trip. The evening meal, in particular, consisted of six dishes if you chose the Western option, and everything was fantastic. The ship is pretty, and the staff has everything well-planned.
The only drawback is that we waited a long time for our beverages to be served on the top deck, maybe there were too many people on board.
This cruise was amazing from beginning to end. The only unpleasant thing was it was hot in some activities.
Every doubt from us was resolved by Mia from BestPrice Travel. Thank you.

However, be prepared to pay for drinks as these were not included in the package (There was a happy hour special of buy one get one free from 5:30 - 6:30…take advantage).
The one downside was that the reception was terrible once we left the port. You certainly can contact people but only on specific areas of the ship. While a little annoying, it forces you to unplug and enjoy the sights and activities of the day.
Mia was a great adviser and would recommend having her as support staff. Less
