I would love to book a cruise that has dinner at drum cave within the itinerary. I can see the victory star cruise goes to drum cave, but the itinerary doesn't mention a cave dinner. What cruise should I book if you still do this?

Asked by Carol Polich 9 months, 2 weeks ago
I will be photographing the Halong Bay area for about 7 days, Nov 7-Nov 15 (ret to Hanoi). Which mid range cruise do you suggest? And, if I sign up for one, can I take it again or hop onto another ship. Give me your best prices for about 8 n, 7 days. Can I get off the ship and how long do we spend at any of the caves? I don't mind repressing a cruise to re-shoot. Please reply.

We booked the Suite for 2 nights. The cabin was lovely and well-equipped. The food was abundant and could be customed to your diet. The cave was amazing and kayaking was fun. We had a more quiet and relaxing trip on the second day. The activities onboard were repeated and not really interesting so we just enjoyed the view. The drinks were a bit pricey.

The staff was superb. They took care of my family all the time. The food was delicious. The only con was the jam-packed schedule. The 2 day/1 night means almost 24 hours onboard only. Anyway, the tour was interesting. Thank you.

There were 3 of us and we stayed in 2 deluxe cabins. The rooms were spacious and the view from the window was amazing. There was plenty of food but the options for vegetarians could be more varied. The activities were diversified as well. The staff was nice.
