It’s was an amazing cruise. Elite of the seas is probably the best cruise to visit Halong Bay with a touch of elegance 🙂 Joey was so helpful to design my trip to Halong Bay. I recommend 🙂 everyone should do that once in a life ! Merci
The criuse itself is marvelous. The entire crew is super attentive always eager to please. One of the mist unforgettable cruise experience! Highly recommended.
The cruise is very new. Furnishing is very nice and facilities are fully equipped. We wish we could stay longer. Food was yummy and service by staff was excellent.
The ship looks amazing! Although it was pricey, we had a very satisfying trip on Elite of the seas cruise. We traveled with a 2-year kid and the staff was very welcoming and helpful. Thank you very much.
Superb service! The pool is nice. We booked a Junior Suite on the first deck. The cabin is spacious and has everything we need. We really like the ocean-view bathtub. Everyone should try!
