Orchid Cruise Halong Bay 3 dagen 2 nachten op 5-sterrencruise

Orchid cruise en Halong Bay stelde niet teleur. Fantastische boot, kamer, keuken, personeel! Trang esp was zo geweldig als cruise- en tourdirecteur met zoveel persoonlijke aandacht voor ons. Zij is een blijvertje!

Mooie boot, kajuit met ramen van vloer tot plafond en zeer ruim. Fantastisch eten, overal vlekkeloos schoon en veel stoelen en ligstoelen op het dek. Maar het meest opvallend was het geweldige personeel wiens vriendelijkheid en efficiëntie ongeëvenaard waren. Het meest onder de indruk van onze ober Colada met zijn altijd klaarstaande glimlach en behulpzaamheid en Tian, de scheepsmanager die onvermoeibaar werkte om ervoor te zorgen dat iedereen goed werd verzorgd en tijd vrijmaakte om met alle passagiers te praten om reisroutes te bevestigen en ervoor te zorgen dat alles in orde was. Beveel deze reis ten zeerste aan.

This cruise was beautiful the boat was 5* the room and bath room were beautiful and clean and comfortable and it was beautiful to lie on the bed and look out over the fantastic scenery. The food was also beautiful and we never stopped eating there are many many courses. Please be advised to inform in advance if you don’t like fish. The staff were very nice and provided excellent friendly service. The activities provided were not really to our taste… there is tai chi but this is very early in the morning and squid fishing for all of you fishermen types. There was a walk described as a hike so we gave this a miss and the day trip was to a village which really only shows the poverty and did not inform of anything else really. There was an option to bike ride on the village trip but beware there is hills and no gears on the bikes. The weather on the halong bay in March was grey and drizzled rather like Manchester so maybe we didn’t see it at its best it was fairly warm and we only needed a cardigan/ light weight waterproof ( the water proof coats are provided) . Please be informed that parts of the bay suffer from pollution and therefore swimming in it is not appealing. Given the correct weather and less pollution this would have been beautiful.
