Room is clean and spacious. We were so lucky to get an upgrade to the room on the upper deck. The view was amazing. We are impressed by the service of the staff. Would come back here one day.
Food was average. Buffet needs more options. The ship provides modern facilities. Kayaking to the cave on the first day was very relaxing.
Very relaxing trip. Nice cabin and lovely food.
My family booked 2 nights on Mon Cheri Cruise. The trip to the village was interesting. We swam at a pristine beach on the second day and kayaked a lot. Food was okay, not excellent but the service was attentive and caring. Staff was kind.
Everything was good. Lan Ha Bay was nice and very suitable for a weekend trip.
