We will be on a celebrity cruise in Jan. We have booked a Halong bay overnight cruise leaving from there. We will get a taxi from the port when we get off the Celebrity ship. Is it easy to get a taxi back to the Celebrity ship after we get off? Are there lots of available taxis? Do we need to book in advance?

@Christine Lloyd:

Hi! If it's not the public holiday, the taxi is always available at the port. You should ask the cruise receptionist to help you get a taxi so you can avoid unexpected scam for taxi fee.

@Deep Sen:

You’re able to place your car if you travel there on your own. Depending on which cruise, you will have another parking space.

Please let me know which cruise are you interested in, or do you have any criteria so that I can make suggestions?
