BestPrice's Review
BestPrice Travel’s team luckily had an opportunity to experience Ha Long Bay 2 days 1 night on the Capella cruise and this journey was a spectacular time for us.
We were warmly welcomed by Capella's staff in the departure room at first sight, throughout the trip the funniest moments with activities and we saved the many wonderful Ha Long – Lan Ha Bay photos. Below are some pros and cons we think may be useful for you:
Facilities & amenities
BestPrice's rating: 9.6
Pros:
- All the rooms have private balconies or terraces, and a bathtub with an ocean view makes a spacious and airy space in the room.
- Big Oasis Pool & Jacuzzi is especially suitable for children safely swimming while parents can freely enjoy different activities.
- The Capella water slide is a highlight point more than other cruises in the bay.
- Fitness room, poker and karaoke room for inside entertainment, and minigolf for outside entertainment. Never boring while on the cruise.
- Two elevators for guests easily move through cruise areas.
Cons:
- The Spirit of the sea Lounge's inside space is a bit less sitting area if you go on a rainy day.
Service
BestPrice's rating: 9.6
The service is an incredible point that makes passengers' stay perfect.
Throughout the trip, we were served and supported by the restaurant's friendly and enthusiastic staff, bringing us the most satisfaction in each activity. Especially, a sailor gave us the best enjoyment when we did sliding into the sea from the cruise, despite being a bit scary.
Also, we gained more knowledge about Dark and Bright caves, and the floating lifestyle of fishers through the story of staff on the tender to the floating village.
Foods and beverages
BestPrice's rating: 9.4
Pros:
- As the staff told, the seafood is provided by the fishers at floating villages around.
- The buffet lines are supplied enough for all guests and hot with a diversity of kinds of seafood, meats, and desserts
- A set menu with 2 dishes for starters, a plate of seafood, the main course, and dessert is the best meal of the trip.
Cons:
- The first buffet taste is a bit salty
- The bar is still sparse kind of wine and concoctions
Relaxing with the waterslide in the afternoons or kayaking among the rock formations or cooking demonstrations on the boat, everything so memorable. One more unforgettable thing is a traditional seafood lunch on Cat Ba Island, with clam soup, a seafood platter, and a jellyfish salad were all highlights for a first-time cruiser.
The boat is brand new, and everything is very neat and clean, with a very appealing design.
Super spacious room with a private balcony where you can fully enjoy the beautiful bay. I have so many beautiful pictures in my room that I could spend all day there without getting bored."
One of the most incredible experiences I've ever had. From start to finish, the Capella cruise team looked after us. The only cruise I would take in Ha Long Bay, without a doubt. You can immediately see how incredible the yacht is, and the service matches. I would recommend it to anyone visiting Vietnam. We are excited to be back on board.
The boat has a fresh, modern, and eye-catching design. On board, there are full facilities and many services.
On board, you can play golf on the top deck, swim in the most unusual pools in Halong Bay (including a heated jacuzzi and a floating pool) or try the Water Slides from the second deck.
Very intriguing; definitely worth to experience."
Great rooms - spacious and clean, facilities are excellent with pool and slide. The service at Capella is lovely - very attentive and accommodating staff. They make sincere efforts to provide good customer care. We will highly recommend the Capella cruise.
