We were picked up from our hotel and brought all the way to halong bay. Sea octopus stood out because it was the only counter with a sign board. The moment we entered the port to the moment we left was just pure top notch service. Yen was one of those who assisted us and she was just amazing and wonderful, she went the extra mile to make us feel comfortable. 

All the staff was just nice and friendly. They were extra sweet and accommodating. The salmon sashimi was the BEST I’ve ever tasted. The octopus was also very tasty. Overall the buffet lunch was excellent, nothing less of 5 stars. 

We had the canoe tour where someone rowed the boat for us but you can choose the kayak as well. We also explored a very nice cave. In the afternoon, there was a live singer. Overall this experience was just amazing.

1. State of the art amenities
2. Excellent, fresh, delicious buffet 
3. Accommodating and welcoming staff

We were picked up from our hotel and brought all the way to halong bay. Sea octopus stood out because it was the only counter with a sign board. The moment we entered the port to the moment we left was just pure top notch service. Yen was one of those who assisted us and she was just amazing and wonderful, she went the extra mile to make us feel comfortable. 

All the staff was just nice and friendly. They were extra sweet and accommodating. The salmon sashimi was the BEST I’ve ever tasted. The octopus was also very tasty. Overall the buffet lunch was excellent, nothing less of 5 stars. 

We had the canoe tour where someone rowed the boat for us but you can choose the kayak as well. We also explored a very nice cave. In the afternoon, there was a live singer. Overall this experience was just amazing.

The moment we entered the port to the moment we left was just pure top notch service. Yen was one of those who assisted us and she was just amazing and wonderful, she went the extra mile to make us feel comfortable. 

All the staff was just nice and friendly. They were extra sweet and accommodating. The salmon sashimi was the BEST I’ve ever tasted. The octopus was also very tasty. Overall the buffet lunch was excellent, nothing less of 5 stars. 

We had the canoe tour where someone rowed the boat for us but you can choose the kayak as well. We also explored a very nice cave. In the afternoon, there was a live singer. Overall this experience was just amazing.

Positive aspects:
- Extremely helpful and friendly staff. Especially our waiter Brian was great;
- Very nice and newly built boat (beautiful decor in the room)
- Nice pool (considering you are on a medium-sized cruise)
- High standard evening menus; excellent quality food;
- Beautiful scenery.

Negative aspects:
- During the weekend the boat was extremely full and there was some confusion. We had to eat in the \'bar\' area as there was no room in the dining room;
- There are many families with children, which is not a problem per se, but it does mean that there is a lot of noise and commotion in the pool and restaurant;
- the trip to Viet Hai village was not well organised: we left 25 minutes late and the beach where we were supposed to swim was so crowded that we (guests) preferred not to stop at all;
- the timing of meals is strict and a bit strange: on both the second and third day there was no real lunch, but a buffet served at 10am; breakfast is from 6.45am to 7.45am (so very early);
- our room was on the 4th floor and in the morning from 6am we were woken up by the noise of people doing yoga on the deck on the 5th floor (not the best place to relax).',4.0,'2023-07-02T02:36:48Z','REV-6SW7k5ty0nWi8wsdVG6NKHGfMOlo6Z1wbVe54qPklP8=','en','MatteoS_0000','TRIPADVISOR'),('101924P233','Elite of The Seas - Unique Luxury 3 Days Cruise in Halong & Lan Ha Bay','Beautiful boat in beautiful Halong Bay','The crew was amazing - they make this cruise worth it.

The boat itself is beautiful and very well equipped. Everything looks and feels luxurious and we were definitely on the best cruise ship that’s currently sailing in the area. 

The food was delicious and my partner, who doesn’t eat fish or seafood, was very well catered for with alternatives. The dishes are well presented and served promptly. 

The drinks are a little on the pricey side but that’s the only downside of the trip that is within the ship’s control. Sadly the state of the ocean isn’t in their control and it was upsetting to see the pollution. But as I say, that isn’t in the control of Elite of the Seas. 

The staff are top notch. They’re all really helpful, kind and nothing is too much trouble. The cruise manager, Tim, and our butler, Layla, provided exceptional service from start to finish and I honestly cannot fault them one bit.

Positive aspects:
- Extremely helpful and friendly staff. Especially our waiter Brian was great;
- Very nice and newly built boat (beautiful decor in the room)
- Nice pool (considering you are on a medium-sized cruise)
- High standard evening menus; excellent quality food;
- Beautiful scenery.

Negative aspects:
- During the weekend the boat was extremely full and there was some confusion. We had to eat in the \'bar\' area as there was no room in the dining room;
- There are many families with children, which is not a problem per se, but it does mean that there is a lot of noise and commotion in the pool and restaurant;
- the trip to Viet Hai village was not well organised: we left 25 minutes late and the beach where we were supposed to swim was so crowded that we (guests) preferred not to stop at all;
- the timing of meals is strict and a bit strange: on both the second and third day there was no real lunch, but a buffet served at 10am; breakfast is from 6.45am to 7.45am (so very early);
- our room was on the 4th floor and in the morning from 6am we were woken up by the noise of people doing yoga on the deck on the 5th floor (not the best place to relax).',4.0,'2023-07-02T02:36:48Z','REV-6SW7k5ty0nWi8wsdVG6NKHGfMOlo6Z1wbVe54qPklP8=','en','MatteoS_0000','TRIPADVISOR'),('101924P233','Elite of The Seas - Unique Luxury 3 Days Cruise in Halong & Lan Ha Bay','Beautiful boat in beautiful Halong Bay','The crew was amazing - they make this cruise worth it.

The boat itself is beautiful and very well equipped. Everything looks and feels luxurious and we were definitely on the best cruise ship that’s currently sailing in the area. 

The food was delicious and my partner, who doesn’t eat fish or seafood, was very well catered for with alternatives. The dishes are well presented and served promptly. 

The drinks are a little on the pricey side but that’s the only downside of the trip that is within the ship’s control. Sadly the state of the ocean isn’t in their control and it was upsetting to see the pollution. But as I say, that isn’t in the control of Elite of the Seas. 

The staff are top notch. They’re all really helpful, kind and nothing is too much trouble. The cruise manager, Tim, and our butler, Layla, provided exceptional service from start to finish and I honestly cannot fault them one bit.

Positive aspects:
- Extremely helpful and friendly staff. Especially our waiter Brian was great;
- Very nice and newly built boat (beautiful decor in the room)
- Nice pool (considering you are on a medium-sized cruise)
- High standard evening menus; excellent quality food;
- Beautiful scenery.

Negative aspects:
- During the weekend the boat was extremely full and there was some confusion. We had to eat in the \'bar\' area as there was no room in the dining room;
- There are many families with children, which is not a problem per se, but it does mean that there is a lot of noise and commotion in the pool and restaurant;
- the trip to Viet Hai village was not well organised: we left 25 minutes late and the beach where we were supposed to swim was so crowded that we (guests) preferred not to stop at all;
- the timing of meals is strict and a bit strange: on both the second and third day there was no real lunch, but a buffet served at 10am; breakfast is from 6.45am to 7.45am (so very early);
- our room was on the 4th floor and in the morning from 6am we were woken up by the noise of people doing yoga on the deck on the 5th floor (not the best place to relax).',4.0,'2023-07-02T02:36:48Z','REV-6SW7k5ty0nWi8wsdVG6NKHGfMOlo6Z1wbVe54qPklP8=','en','MatteoS_0000','TRIPADVISOR'),('101924P233','Elite of The Seas - Unique Luxury 3 Days Cruise in Halong & Lan Ha Bay','Beautiful boat in beautiful Halong Bay','The crew was amazing - they make this cruise worth it.

The boat itself is beautiful and very well equipped. Everything looks and feels luxurious and we were definitely on the best cruise ship that’s currently sailing in the area. 

The food was delicious and my partner, who doesn’t eat fish or seafood, was very well catered for with alternatives. The dishes are well presented and served promptly. 

The drinks are a little on the pricey side but that’s the only downside of the trip that is within the ship’s control. Sadly the state of the ocean isn’t in their control and it was upsetting to see the pollution. But as I say, that isn’t in the control of Elite of the Seas. 

The staff are top notch. They’re all really helpful, kind and nothing is too much trouble. The cruise manager, Tim, and our butler, Layla, provided exceptional service from start to finish and I honestly cannot fault them one bit.

Positive aspects:
- Extremely helpful and friendly staff. Especially our waiter Brian was great;
- Very nice and newly built boat (beautiful decor in the room)
- Nice pool (considering you are on a medium-sized cruise)
- High standard evening menus; excellent quality food;
- Beautiful scenery.

Negative aspects:
- During the weekend the boat was extremely full and there was some confusion. We had to eat in the \'bar\' area as there was no room in the dining room;
- There are many families with children, which is not a problem per se, but it does mean that there is a lot of noise and commotion in the pool and restaurant;
- the trip to Viet Hai village was not well organised: we left 25 minutes late and the beach where we were supposed to swim was so crowded that we (guests) preferred not to stop at all;
- the timing of meals is strict and a bit strange: on both the second and third day there was no real lunch, but a buffet served at 10am; breakfast is from 6.45am to 7.45am (so very early);
- our room was on the 4th floor and in the morning from 6am we were woken up by the noise of people doing yoga on the deck on the 5th floor (not the best place to relax).',4.0,'2023-07-02T02:36:48Z','REV-6SW7k5ty0nWi8wsdVG6NKHGfMOlo6Z1wbVe54qPklP8=','en','MatteoS_0000','TRIPADVISOR'),('101924P233','Elite of The Seas - Unique Luxury 3 Days Cruise in Halong & Lan Ha Bay','Beautiful boat in beautiful Halong Bay','The crew was amazing - they make this cruise worth it.

The boat itself is beautiful and very well equipped. Everything looks and feels luxurious and we were definitely on the best cruise ship that’s currently sailing in the area. 

The food was delicious and my partner, who doesn’t eat fish or seafood, was very well catered for with alternatives. The dishes are well presented and served promptly. 

The drinks are a little on the pricey side but that’s the only downside of the trip that is within the ship’s control. Sadly the state of the ocean isn’t in their control and it was upsetting to see the pollution. But as I say, that isn’t in the control of Elite of the Seas. 

The staff are top notch. They’re all really helpful, kind and nothing is too much trouble. The cruise manager, Tim, and our butler, Layla, provided exceptional service from start to finish and I honestly cannot fault them one bit.

Positive aspects:
- Extremely helpful and friendly staff. Especially our waiter Brian was great;
- Very nice and newly built boat (beautiful decor in the room)
- Nice pool (considering you are on a medium-sized cruise)
- High standard evening menus; excellent quality food;
- Beautiful scenery.

Negative aspects:
- During the weekend the boat was extremely full and there was some confusion. We had to eat in the \'bar\' area as there was no room in the dining room;
- There are many families with children, which is not a problem per se, but it does mean that there is a lot of noise and commotion in the pool and restaurant;
- the trip to Viet Hai village was not well organised: we left 25 minutes late and the beach where we were supposed to swim was so crowded that we (guests) preferred not to stop at all;
- the timing of meals is strict and a bit strange: on both the second and third day there was no real lunch, but a buffet served at 10am; breakfast is from 6.45am to 7.45am (so very early);
- our room was on the 4th floor and in the morning from 6am we were woken up by the noise of people doing yoga on the deck on the 5th floor (not the best place to relax).',4.0,'2023-07-02T02:36:48Z','REV-6SW7k5ty0nWi8wsdVG6NKHGfMOlo6Z1wbVe54qPklP8=','en','MatteoS_0000','TRIPADVISOR'),('101924P233','Elite of The Seas - Unique Luxury 3 Days Cruise in Halong & Lan Ha Bay','Beautiful boat in beautiful Halong Bay','The crew was amazing - they make this cruise worth it.

The boat itself is beautiful and very well equipped. Everything looks and feels luxurious and we were definitely on the best cruise ship that’s currently sailing in the area. 

The food was delicious and my partner, who doesn’t eat fish or seafood, was very well catered for with alternatives. The dishes are well presented and served promptly. 

The drinks are a little on the pricey side but that’s the only downside of the trip that is within the ship’s control. Sadly the state of the ocean isn’t in their control and it was upsetting to see the pollution. But as I say, that isn’t in the control of Elite of the Seas. 

The staff are top notch. They’re all really helpful, kind and nothing is too much trouble. The cruise manager, Tim, and our butler, Layla, provided exceptional service from start to finish and I honestly cannot fault them one bit.

Positive aspects:
- Extremely helpful and friendly staff. Especially our waiter Brian was great;
- Very nice and newly built boat (beautiful decor in the room)
- Nice pool (considering you are on a medium-sized cruise)
- High standard evening menus; excellent quality food;
- Beautiful scenery.

Negative aspects:
- During the weekend the boat was extremely full and there was some confusion. We had to eat in the \'bar\' area as there was no room in the dining room;
- There are many families with children, which is not a problem per se, but it does mean that there is a lot of noise and commotion in the pool and restaurant;
- the trip to Viet Hai village was not well organised: we left 25 minutes late and the beach where we were supposed to swim was so crowded that we (guests) preferred not to stop at all;
- the timing of meals is strict and a bit strange: on both the second and third day there was no real lunch, but a buffet served at 10am; breakfast is from 6.45am to 7.45am (so very early);
- our room was on the 4th floor and in the morning from 6am we were woken up by the noise of people doing yoga on the deck on the 5th floor (not the best place to relax).',4.0,'2023-07-02T02:36:48Z','REV-6SW7k5ty0nWi8wsdVG6NKHGfMOlo6Z1wbVe54qPklP8=','en','MatteoS_0000','TRIPADVISOR'),('101924P233','Elite of The Seas - Unique Luxury 3 Days Cruise in Halong & Lan Ha Bay','Beautiful boat in beautiful Halong Bay','The crew was amazing - they make this cruise worth it.

The boat itself is beautiful and very well equipped. Everything looks and feels luxurious and we were definitely on the best cruise ship that’s currently sailing in the area. 

The food was delicious and my partner, who doesn’t eat fish or seafood, was very well catered for with alternatives. The dishes are well presented and served promptly. 

The drinks are a little on the pricey side but that’s the only downside of the trip that is within the ship’s control. Sadly the state of the ocean isn’t in their control and it was upsetting to see the pollution. But as I say, that isn’t in the control of Elite of the Seas. 

The staff are top notch. They’re all really helpful, kind and nothing is too much trouble. The cruise manager, Tim, and our butler, Layla, provided exceptional service from start to finish and I honestly cannot fault them one bit.

Positive aspects:
- Extremely helpful and friendly staff. Especially our waiter Brian was great;
- Very nice and newly built boat (beautiful decor in the room)
- Nice pool (considering you are on a medium-sized cruise)
- High standard evening menus; excellent quality food;
- Beautiful scenery.

Negative aspects:
- During the weekend the boat was extremely full and there was some confusion. We had to eat in the \'bar\' area as there was no room in the dining room;
- There are many families with children, which is not a problem per se, but it does mean that there is a lot of noise and commotion in the pool and restaurant;
- the trip to Viet Hai village was not well organised: we left 25 minutes late and the beach where we were supposed to swim was so crowded that we (guests) preferred not to stop at all;
- the timing of meals is strict and a bit strange: on both the second and third day there was no real lunch, but a buffet served at 10am; breakfast is from 6.45am to 7.45am (so very early);
- our room was on the 4th floor and in the morning from 6am we were woken up by the noise of people doing yoga on the deck on the 5th floor (not the best place to relax).',4.0,'2023-07-02T02:36:48Z','REV-6SW7k5ty0nWi8wsdVG6NKHGfMOlo6Z1wbVe54qPklP8=','en','MatteoS_0000','TRIPADVISOR'),('101924P233','Elite of The Seas - Unique Luxury 3 Days Cruise in Halong & Lan Ha Bay','Beautiful boat in beautiful Halong Bay','The crew was amazing - they make this cruise worth it.

The boat itself is beautiful and very well equipped. Everything looks and feels luxurious and we were definitely on the best cruise ship that’s currently sailing in the area. 

The food was delicious and my partner, who doesn’t eat fish or seafood, was very well catered for with alternatives. The dishes are well presented and served promptly. 

The drinks are a little on the pricey side but that’s the only downside of the trip that is within the ship’s control. Sadly the state of the ocean isn’t in their control and it was upsetting to see the pollution. But as I say, that isn’t in the control of Elite of the Seas. 

The staff are top notch. They’re all really helpful, kind and nothing is too much trouble. The cruise manager, Tim, and our butler, Layla, provided exceptional service from start to finish and I honestly cannot fault them one bit.

Positive aspects:
- Extremely helpful and friendly staff. Especially our waiter Brian was great;
- Very nice and newly built boat (beautiful decor in the room)
- Nice pool (considering you are on a medium-sized cruise)
- High standard evening menus; excellent quality food;
- Beautiful scenery.

Negative aspects:
- During the weekend the boat was extremely full and there was some confusion. We had to eat in the \'bar\' area as there was no room in the dining room;
- There are many families with children, which is not a problem per se, but it does mean that there is a lot of noise and commotion in the pool and restaurant;
- the trip to Viet Hai village was not well organised: we left 25 minutes late and the beach where we were supposed to swim was so crowded that we (guests) preferred not to stop at all;
- the timing of meals is strict and a bit strange: on both the second and third day there was no real lunch, but a buffet served at 10am; breakfast is from 6.45am to 7.45am (so very early);
- our room was on the 4th floor and in the morning from 6am we were woken up by the noise of people doing yoga on the deck on the 5th floor (not the best place to relax).',4.0,'2023-07-02T02:36:48Z','REV-6SW7k5ty0nWi8wsdVG6NKHGfMOlo6Z1wbVe54qPklP8=','en','MatteoS_0000','TRIPADVISOR'),('101924P233','Elite of The Seas - Unique Luxury 3 Days Cruise in Halong & Lan Ha Bay','Beautiful boat in beautiful Halong Bay','The crew was amazing - they make this cruise worth it.

The boat itself is beautiful and very well equipped. Everything looks and feels luxurious and we were definitely on the best cruise ship that’s currently sailing in the area. 

The food was delicious and my partner, who doesn’t eat fish or seafood, was very well catered for with alternatives. The dishes are well presented and served promptly. 

The drinks are a little on the pricey side but that’s the only downside of the trip that is within the ship’s control. Sadly the state of the ocean isn’t in their control and it was upsetting to see the pollution. But as I say, that isn’t in the control of Elite of the Seas. 

The staff are top notch. They’re all really helpful, kind and nothing is too much trouble. The cruise manager, Tim, and our butler, Layla, provided exceptional service from start to finish and I honestly cannot fault them one bit.

Positive aspects:
- Extremely helpful and friendly staff. Especially our waiter Brian was great;
- Very nice and newly built boat (beautiful decor in the room)
- Nice pool (considering you are on a medium-sized cruise)
- High standard evening menus; excellent quality food;
- Beautiful scenery.

Negative aspects:
- During the weekend the boat was extremely full and there was some confusion. We had to eat in the \'bar\' area as there was no room in the dining room;
- There are many families with children, which is not a problem per se, but it does mean that there is a lot of noise and commotion in the pool and restaurant;
- the trip to Viet Hai village was not well organised: we left 25 minutes late and the beach where we were supposed to swim was so crowded that we (guests) preferred not to stop at all;
- the timing of meals is strict and a bit strange: on both the second and third day there was no real lunch, but a buffet served at 10am; breakfast is from 6.45am to 7.45am (so very early);
- our room was on the 4th floor and in the morning from 6am we were woken up by the noise of people doing yoga on the deck on the 5th floor (not the best place to relax).',4.0,'2023-07-02T02:36:48Z','REV-6SW7k5ty0nWi8wsdVG6NKHGfMOlo6Z1wbVe54qPklP8=','en','MatteoS_0000','TRIPADVISOR'),('101924P233','Elite of The Seas - Unique Luxury 3 Days Cruise in Halong & Lan Ha Bay','Beautiful boat in beautiful Halong Bay','The crew was amazing - they make this cruise worth it.

The boat itself is beautiful and very well equipped. Everything looks and feels luxurious and we were definitely on the best cruise ship that’s currently sailing in the area. 

The food was delicious and my partner, who doesn’t eat fish or seafood, was very well catered for with alternatives. The dishes are well presented and served promptly. 

The drinks are a little on the pricey side but that’s the only downside of the trip that is within the ship’s control. Sadly the state of the ocean isn’t in their control and it was upsetting to see the pollution. But as I say, that isn’t in the control of Elite of the Seas. 

The staff are top notch. They’re all really helpful, kind and nothing is too much trouble. The cruise manager, Tim, and our butler, Layla, provided exceptional service from start to finish and I honestly cannot fault them one bit.

Positive aspects:
- Extremely helpful and friendly staff. Especially our waiter Brian was great;
- Very nice and newly built boat (beautiful decor in the room)
- Nice pool (considering you are on a medium-sized cruise)
- High standard evening menus; excellent quality food;
- Beautiful scenery.

Negative aspects:
- During the weekend the boat was extremely full and there was some confusion. We had to eat in the \'bar\' area as there was no room in the dining room;
- There are many families with children, which is not a problem per se, but it does mean that there is a lot of noise and commotion in the pool and restaurant;
- the trip to Viet Hai village was not well organised: we left 25 minutes late and the beach where we were supposed to swim was so crowded that we (guests) preferred not to stop at all;
- the timing of meals is strict and a bit strange: on both the second and third day there was no real lunch, but a buffet served at 10am; breakfast is from 6.45am to 7.45am (so very early);
- our room was on the 4th floor and in the morning from 6am we were woken up by the noise of people doing yoga on the deck on the 5th floor (not the best place to relax).',4.0,'2023-07-02T02:36:48Z','REV-6SW7k5ty0nWi8wsdVG6NKHGfMOlo6Z1wbVe54qPklP8=','en','MatteoS_0000','TRIPADVISOR'),('101924P233','Elite of The Seas - Unique Luxury 3 Days Cruise in Halong & Lan Ha Bay','Beautiful boat in beautiful Halong Bay','The crew was amazing - they make this cruise worth it.

The boat itself is beautiful and very well equipped. Everything looks and feels luxurious and we were definitely on the best cruise ship that’s currently sailing in the area. 

The food was delicious and my partner, who doesn’t eat fish or seafood, was very well catered for with alternatives. The dishes are well presented and served promptly. 

The drinks are a little on the pricey side but that’s the only downside of the trip that is within the ship’s control. Sadly the state of the ocean isn’t in their control and it was upsetting to see the pollution. But as I say, that isn’t in the control of Elite of the Seas. 

The staff are top notch. They’re all really helpful, kind and nothing is too much trouble. The cruise manager, Tim, and our butler, Layla, provided exceptional service from start to finish and I honestly cannot fault them one bit.

Positive aspects:
- Extremely helpful and friendly staff. Especially our waiter Brian was great;
- Very nice and newly built boat (beautiful decor in the room)
- Nice pool (considering you are on a medium-sized cruise)
- High standard evening menus; excellent quality food;
- Beautiful scenery.

Negative aspects:
- During the weekend the boat was extremely full and there was some confusion. We had to eat in the \'bar\' area as there was no room in the dining room;
- There are many families with children, which is not a problem per se, but it does mean that there is a lot of noise and commotion in the pool and restaurant;
- the trip to Viet Hai village was not well organised: we left 25 minutes late and the beach where we were supposed to swim was so crowded that we (guests) preferred not to stop at all;
- the timing of meals is strict and a bit strange: on both the second and third day there was no real lunch, but a buffet served at 10am; breakfast is from 6.45am to 7.45am (so very early);
- our room was on the 4th floor and in the morning from 6am we were woken up by the noise of people doing yoga on the deck on the 5th floor (not the best place to relax).',4.0,'2023-07-02T02:36:48Z','REV-6SW7k5ty0nWi8wsdVG6NKHGfMOlo6Z1wbVe54qPklP8=','en','MatteoS_0000','TRIPADVISOR'),('101924P233','Elite of The Seas - Unique Luxury 3 Days Cruise in Halong & Lan Ha Bay','Beautiful boat in beautiful Halong Bay','The crew was amazing - they make this cruise worth it.

The boat itself is beautiful and very well equipped. Everything looks and feels luxurious and we were definitely on the best cruise ship that’s currently sailing in the area. 

The food was delicious and my partner, who doesn’t eat fish or seafood, was very well catered for with alternatives. The dishes are well presented and served promptly. 

The drinks are a little on the pricey side but that’s the only downside of the trip that is within the ship’s control. Sadly the state of the ocean isn’t in their control and it was upsetting to see the pollution. But as I say, that isn’t in the control of Elite of the Seas. 

The staff are top notch. They’re all really helpful, kind and nothing is too much trouble. The cruise manager, Tim, and our butler, Layla, provided exceptional service from start to finish and I honestly cannot fault them one bit.

Positive aspects:
- Extremely helpful and friendly staff. Especially our waiter Brian was great;
- Very nice and newly built boat (beautiful decor in the room)
- Nice pool (considering you are on a medium-sized cruise)
- High standard evening menus; excellent quality food;
- Beautiful scenery.

Negative aspects:
- During the weekend the boat was extremely full and there was some confusion. We had to eat in the \'bar\' area as there was no room in the dining room;
- There are many families with children, which is not a problem per se, but it does mean that there is a lot of noise and commotion in the pool and restaurant;
- the trip to Viet Hai village was not well organised: we left 25 minutes late and the beach where we were supposed to swim was so crowded that we (guests) preferred not to stop at all;
- the timing of meals is strict and a bit strange: on both the second and third day there was no real lunch, but a buffet served at 10am; breakfast is from 6.45am to 7.45am (so very early);
- our room was on the 4th floor and in the morning from 6am we were woken up by the noise of people doing yoga on the deck on the 5th floor (not the best place to relax).',4.0,'2023-07-02T02:36:48Z','REV-6SW7k5ty0nWi8wsdVG6NKHGfMOlo6Z1wbVe54qPklP8=','en','MatteoS_0000','TRIPADVISOR'),('101924P233','Elite of The Seas - Unique Luxury 3 Days Cruise in Halong & Lan Ha Bay','Beautiful boat in beautiful Halong Bay','The crew was amazing - they make this cruise worth it.

The boat itself is beautiful and very well equipped. Everything looks and feels luxurious and we were definitely on the best cruise ship that’s currently sailing in the area. 

The food was delicious and my partner, who doesn’t eat fish or seafood, was very well catered for with alternatives. The dishes are well presented and served promptly. 

The drinks are a little on the pricey side but that’s the only downside of the trip that is within the ship’s control. Sadly the state of the ocean isn’t in their control and it was upsetting to see the pollution. But as I say, that isn’t in the control of Elite of the Seas. 

The staff are top notch. They’re all really helpful, kind and nothing is too much trouble. The cruise manager, Tim, and our butler, Layla, provided exceptional service from start to finish and I honestly cannot fault them one bit.

Positive aspects:
- Extremely helpful and friendly staff. Especially our waiter Brian was great;
- Very nice and newly built boat (beautiful decor in the room)
- Nice pool (considering you are on a medium-sized cruise)
- High standard evening menus; excellent quality food;
- Beautiful scenery.

Negative aspects:
- During the weekend the boat was extremely full and there was some confusion. We had to eat in the \'bar\' area as there was no room in the dining room;
- There are many families with children, which is not a problem per se, but it does mean that there is a lot of noise and commotion in the pool and restaurant;
- the trip to Viet Hai village was not well organised: we left 25 minutes late and the beach where we were supposed to swim was so crowded that we (guests) preferred not to stop at all;
- the timing of meals is strict and a bit strange: on both the second and third day there was no real lunch, but a buffet served at 10am; breakfast is from 6.45am to 7.45am (so very early);
- our room was on the 4th floor and in the morning from 6am we were woken up by the noise of people doing yoga on the deck on the 5th floor (not the best place to relax).',4.0,'2023-07-02T02:36:48Z','REV-6SW7k5ty0nWi8wsdVG6NKHGfMOlo6Z1wbVe54qPklP8=','en','MatteoS_0000','TRIPADVISOR'),('101924P233','Elite of The Seas - Unique Luxury 3 Days Cruise in Halong & Lan Ha Bay','Beautiful boat in beautiful Halong Bay','The crew was amazing - they make this cruise worth it.

The boat itself is beautiful and very well equipped. Everything looks and feels luxurious and we were definitely on the best cruise ship that’s currently sailing in the area. 

The food was delicious and my partner, who doesn’t eat fish or seafood, was very well catered for with alternatives. The dishes are well presented and served promptly. 

The drinks are a little on the pricey side but that’s the only downside of the trip that is within the ship’s control. Sadly the state of the ocean isn’t in their control and it was upsetting to see the pollution. But as I say, that isn’t in the control of Elite of the Seas. 

The staff are top notch. They’re all really helpful, kind and nothing is too much trouble. The cruise manager, Tim, and our butler, Layla, provided exceptional service from start to finish and I honestly cannot fault them one bit.

Positive aspects:
- Extremely helpful and friendly staff. Especially our waiter Brian was great;
- Very nice and newly built boat (beautiful decor in the room)
- Nice pool (considering you are on a medium-sized cruise)
- High standard evening menus; excellent quality food;
- Beautiful scenery.

Negative aspects:
- During the weekend the boat was extremely full and there was some confusion. We had to eat in the \'bar\' area as there was no room in the dining room;
- There are many families with children, which is not a problem per se, but it does mean that there is a lot of noise and commotion in the pool and restaurant;
- the trip to Viet Hai village was not well organised: we left 25 minutes late and the beach where we were supposed to swim was so crowded that we (guests) preferred not to stop at all;
- the timing of meals is strict and a bit strange: on both the second and third day there was no real lunch, but a buffet served at 10am; breakfast is from 6.45am to 7.45am (so very early);
- our room was on the 4th floor and in the morning from 6am we were woken up by the noise of people doing yoga on the deck on the 5th floor (not the best place to relax).',4.0,'2023-07-02T02:36:48Z','REV-6SW7k5ty0nWi8wsdVG6NKHGfMOlo6Z1wbVe54qPklP8=','en','MatteoS_0000','TRIPADVISOR'),('101924P233','Elite of The Seas - Unique Luxury 3 Days Cruise in Halong & Lan Ha Bay','Beautiful boat in beautiful Halong Bay','The crew was amazing - they make this cruise worth it.

The boat itself is beautiful and very well equipped. Everything looks and feels luxurious and we were definitely on the best cruise ship that’s currently sailing in the area. 

The food was delicious and my partner, who doesn’t eat fish or seafood, was very well catered for with alternatives. The dishes are well presented and served promptly. 

The drinks are a little on the pricey side but that’s the only downside of the trip that is within the ship’s control. Sadly the state of the ocean isn’t in their control and it was upsetting to see the pollution. But as I say, that isn’t in the control of Elite of the Seas. 

The staff are top notch. They’re all really helpful, kind and nothing is too much trouble. The cruise manager, Tim, and our butler, Layla, provided exceptional service from start to finish and I honestly cannot fault them one bit.

Positive aspects:
- Extremely helpful and friendly staff. Especially our waiter Brian was great;
- Very nice and newly built boat (beautiful decor in the room)
- Nice pool (considering you are on a medium-sized cruise)
- High standard evening menus; excellent quality food;
- Beautiful scenery.

Negative aspects:
- During the weekend the boat was extremely full and there was some confusion. We had to eat in the \'bar\' area as there was no room in the dining room;
- There are many families with children, which is not a problem per se, but it does mean that there is a lot of noise and commotion in the pool and restaurant;
- the trip to Viet Hai village was not well organised: we left 25 minutes late and the beach where we were supposed to swim was so crowded that we (guests) preferred not to stop at all;
- the timing of meals is strict and a bit strange: on both the second and third day there was no real lunch, but a buffet served at 10am; breakfast is from 6.45am to 7.45am (so very early);
- our room was on the 4th floor and in the morning from 6am we were woken up by the noise of people doing yoga on the deck on the 5th floor (not the best place to relax).',4.0,'2023-07-02T02:36:48Z','REV-6SW7k5ty0nWi8wsdVG6NKHGfMOlo6Z1wbVe54qPklP8=','en','MatteoS_0000','TRIPADVISOR'),('101924P233','Elite of The Seas - Unique Luxury 3 Days Cruise in Halong & Lan Ha Bay','Beautiful boat in beautiful Halong Bay','The crew was amazing - they make this cruise worth it.
