Generally. The cruise ship wasn't as luxurious as I thought. There were too few activities. Maybe there could have been some explanation of the history and stories of Halong Bay, some key sights.
There could also have been more stops. Perhaps visit more caves? Quite a few times we were just stationary.

The ship traversed through Lan Ha Bay, which is less touristy with more breathtaking landscapes. The cruise was well-organized, and the crew was lovely. We stayed in a King Suite, which was quite large and luxurious. The private balcony and jacuzzi with a bay view were especially appealing to us!
The meals exceeded our expectations; it was superb and plentiful, and I had no problems as a vegan. We had a fantastic experience kayaking, swimming, and traveling to Cat Ba Island on a bamboo boat. We will never forget our wonderful trip to Halong Bay! Less
