Is it fun to go on a 5-star cruise like in the movie?

This premium service is being used by more Vietnamese customers because the price is not too high.
About a week ago, I had the opportunity to experience the 5-star Heritage Cruise while visiting Lan Ha Bay. Here are some things I noticed after 2 days and 1 night on the cruise.

Advantages of yachts Professional staff attitude My first impression was the warm welcome from the staff. To get to the cruise, guests have to take a speedboat to the middle of the bay. When the ship approaches the yacht, staff such as chefs, receptionists, bartenders… all stand out and wave to welcome guests. This is a professional gesture, easy to win sympathy. During the time on board, the staff also support customers enthusiastically and pay attention to the smallest details. The behavior and attitude of the staff is the plus point of the journey. Beautiful design In fact, the 5-star yachts on Lan Ha or Ha Long Bay now have a luxurious design, different from the old-fashioned bay cruise ships. Walking 3 floors of the yacht, you will find enough angles to take pictures of “fire”. Guests can also go to the deck to check-in the pool or pose with the beautiful bay in the background. Luxury yacht space, many beautiful photo angles. For those who prefer a little more “sexy” photography, the bathroom is definitely worth a try. The bathtub is located right next to a bay view window. Just a little alignment, a sexy photo with the natural space behind is not difficult. Beautiful and delicious “fine dining” meal At dinner, guests will experience fine dining with dishes such as oysters, abalone soup, grilled shrimp… In my opinion, seafood is fresh and delicious. The processing method is not too traditional, suitable for modern people. Delicious, beautiful dinner, suitable for those who like to take pictures of food. The plus point of the meal is the beautiful decoration. Tourists who have the habit of showing off their photos before a meal will surely like “both eyes and stomach” when the dishes are presented. Diverse experiences During 2 days and 1 night on the cruise, you can choose to join a cooking class, practice vovinam or kayak, explore caves… In general, with a leisurely schedule, this is enough for you and your loved ones to experience. However, for families with young children, these activities are not very suitable. Unsatisfied things Weak phone signal If you are looking for a place completely separate from daily life, a yacht is definitely a great choice. However, for those who still need to update news and work, this is an unnecessary experience. Weak waves are what makes many travelers uncomfortable while on cruises. Of course, the weak phone signal is not the yacht’s fault. This is something you have to learn to accept as you go deeper into the bay. However, this also makes the experience of many customers less pleasant. Not vibrant You can see the luxury yachts bobbing in the music on the film. However, this is not something you can see when traveling on cruises in Vietnam. Most tourists go on a cruise to relax. In addition, despite the discount compared to before the epidemic, the fee for 2 days and 1 night on the cruise is still relatively high (about 2.7 million VND/adult). Therefore, most of the guests on the yacht are families, honeymooning couples, relaxing… Quite a few groups of young people choose yachts. Life on a yacht is not as exciting as it is in the movies. Therefore, before deciding to choose this form of tourism, you should put aside the vibrant images often seen on movies. Life on the yacht passed quite gently and smoothly. Even the bar on the deck is not very lively at night. At about 0:00, the music was turned off to avoid disturbing other guests. Buffet is not diverse The “fine dining” meal is a plus for the cuisine on the cruise, but the buffet is not worthy of the “5 star” title. Quite a few options for the lunch and breakfast buffet. The food is not too special, repeating dishes such as corn soup, fried noodles, fried squid… You should choose a 5-star yacht if you belong to the following groups: – Family on vacation – Couple on vacation/honeymoon… – People who like to check-in luxurious and sexy space – No seasickness (in fact, the cruise is relatively quiet) – No work pressure related to phone, laptop…
