I have watched both videos of your cruises, hmm.. the difference is obvious, absolutely different level. Thanks, really informative as we’re going to Vietnam in February and now I definitely know what cruise we need, I’m really impressed with the Aspira. There will be three of us travelling, I hope the cabin is good for a family of three.
Heya! First of all, thank you so much for being the most enjoyable to watch of all the ha long bay cruise reviewers, and for actually showing the ship and doing a thorough review! My partner and I are planning to do this cruise and we were wondering which suite did you guys choose and how much did it cost? Thanks!
Glad you liked it! Ours was actually the executive suite but we were upgraded for free. The junior suites start from around $160 pp and the executive suites from about $280 pp 😊
Thanks for mentioning the connecting rooms, I think they call it family suite, so I booked it, next week, 3 days - 2 nights for 3 people, including return transfer, total just about US1,200. I really appreciate your info provided in this video.
Thank you for the video, super helpful and we are thinking of booking with Aspira! Do you think 2 nights would be good or will 1 night be plenty? Thank you!
We had a great time on the one night and I think that is sufficient but two nights will be a much more relaxing experience. Hope you have a great time!
Hey, it is not allowed to bring alcohol on board to make you purchase the alcohol they have. Do they check your luggage or the mini fridge in your room? No. We hope you have a great time!!
Another great and informative video. Do yo have any thoughts on tipping on these cruises? Did you tip a the end or during? Did you feel it was expected and lastly would be curious of your opinion on how much?
Cheers! Tipping is not a part of Vietnamese culture and we never felt a single person pushing for a tip in the whole month we were there. That includes this cruise.
We stayed at Dream Central Hotel in Hanoi and it took about 3 hours total (including stopping to pick up other guests around Hanoi and a stop at the pearl farm/toilet break!
We think the food was better than so-so but whether it's worth the splurge is difficult to say. The whole experience is worth the money but if you are going specifically for the food then that's very subjective. We loved the whole thing and were pleasantly surprised about the food.

That's a fancy cruise ship. Better looking and better service than many hotel, let alone the jaw dropping view.
Yes it really was! It's definitely better than most hotels we stay in for sure!

Glad it was helpful! I hope you have an amazing time! The family cabins are definitely big enough for 3!

Thanks to your wonderful video, I am going on that cruise, 25 countries now and always watch the blogs before I go. Are you guys Australian?
That's a lot of countries! Yeah we do loads of research before we go anywhere too. We are actually British! Hope you have a great time on the cruise 😄

What's the name of the hotel you stayed in at Hanoi - thanks and how long was the bus trip to boat at Ha long? thanks

Heyy guys, was the food exceptional enough for the splurge or so-so?
