Firstly we must say that Luc, the overall Cruise Manager was amazing and so helpful in every way.
The problem we had was not with the staff, it was with the company and the lack of quality food which was very basic... Vietnamese rolls which were made in the guests cooking lesson, basic pasta, minimal pieces of chicken or beef, and plates were made up with two small pieces each of everything, no buffet to help yourself to what you preferred, you ate what you were given. There was no set menu choice, it eas what it was.
Also there was lunch at 1pm and then nothing until dinner at 7pm.
No afternoon tea, drinks (unless you paid for everything), and even tea or coffee after lunch or dinner was charged to your room.
We did a Halong Bay cruise 2 years ago and it was wonderful but with a different company. Sadly it was fully booked this time for the dates we needed.
