Okay

Overall the service is the best thing on this cruise. The staff is extremely nice and professional. Halong Bay was stunning but had many tourists. A day trip is pretty short to explore the bay, I was tired as the itinerary was packed.

Short trip but fun

The tour to Halong Bay was pleasant. We can visit many famous attractions of the bay in a day. Enjoying the view from Titop Island was a great memory. I may return for a longer trip next year.
