Do you homework before picking a cruise

We booked this cruise through an agent, not Doris Cruise direct. I will start from the start: Picked up promptly from our hotel in a spacious small luxury bus and driven 2 hrs before stopping at a pearl farm for coffee and toilet break ( by the number of busses I am tipping everyone stops here) After the break we were driven 10mins to Doris Cruise office. Staff greeted us and checked us into the cruise. After a small wait in a crammed office we were ushered into a small tender boat (also appears everyone does this). The boat has hard timber seats and not really that comfortable. We are then informed this tender journey is approximately 45mins to the main cruise boat. Once again, friendly and informative staff. So by this stage my stomach is rumbling! We got picked up at 8am and it is now nearing 1:30pm (so I suggest pack snacks). Arrive at the main boat and greeted by friendly staff. Taken straight up to the dining room for lunch. Now lunch! Lunch was 98% seafood, and not great seafood either. Most people were not impressed with the food and a lot went uneaten and discarded. We were served numerous dishes one at at time, many of these dishes required rice to accompany them. The rice was the very last dish delivered and by that time there was nothing to eat with it. Lunch was an epic fail. Luckily , clever ladies will approach your boat with a floating supermarket so snacks can be purchased. Afternoon was relaxing and the cruise was good. Afternoon tea however was served at 6pm, one hour before dinner. Dinner was buffet style and unlike lunch very pleasant. But be quick, as it appears food is not plentiful, once it runs out some things are not replaced. All drinks are seperate and a little expensive. The boat also has a small pool/jacuzzi at the front. That was something we wanted, however you could not use it when you wanted to, there was set times. Breakfast in the morning was nice, however do not expect a lay in and relax as it is served at 6:45am. After breakfast back on the tender and out for an excursion to some caves. Very enjoyable. After that back to the boat and check out of your cabin so they can clean and start the process again. At 9:45 brunch was served. This again was like lunch on day one. Little eaten and much wasted. After brunch back on the tender for the journey back to the office. Waited a short time for out transport to arrive ( this was not the responsibility of Doris cruise! It was the agent) Squeezed onto a small bus that a skinny Vietnamese man would struggle to fit in and driven back to Hanoi So in summary: Food 4/10 Service 9/10 Boat 6/10 Room 6/10 Boat is a little tired and rooms not spotless. Was it worth it? Yes! Ha Long Bay is definitely worth a visit. Do your homework and pick the right cruise for you. I’m sure they vary, but it appears a lot do the same thing and it seems heavily geared to the Chinese market which borders very closely. Time on the actual cruise boat is about 21hrs and it doesn’t go that far in that time. It would seem from the review I didn’t enjoy it! I did enjoy it. People can read this and know what to expect

Deluxe Cabin Doris Cruise 2days1night with roundtrip transfer: questions travelers ask

Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Hanoi.

How much does Deluxe Cabin Doris Cruise 2days1night with roundtrip transfer cost?

+

Prices start at $190 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Hanoi usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.

How long does Deluxe Cabin Doris Cruise 2days1night with roundtrip transfer take?

+

Plan for about 48 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Hanoi is not rushed.

Is Deluxe Cabin Doris Cruise 2days1night with roundtrip transfer worth it?

+

It holds an Outty Ranking of 55 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.7/5 across 3 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable outdoors in Hanoi, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.

Can I cancel or reschedule Deluxe Cabin Doris Cruise 2days1night with roundtrip transfer?

+

No. This experience is sold on a non-refundable basis, so only book a date you are confident about. Similar experiences in the city do offer free cancellation if flexibility matters more than price.

Is Deluxe Cabin Doris Cruise 2days1night with roundtrip transfer suitable for kids and families?

+

The operator sets a minimum age of 1. Older children generally do well here, and families should factor in the 48-hour running time when deciding.

How far in advance should I book Deluxe Cabin Doris Cruise 2days1night with roundtrip transfer?

+

Around 1 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Hanoi can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.

What should I bring or wear?

+

Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Hanoi and add a light layer if any part of the 48-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

Where does Deluxe Cabin Doris Cruise 2days1night with roundtrip transfer start and how do I get there?

+

The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Hanoi within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.

What are the best things to do in Hanoi?

+

On Outty we rank every Hanoi experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Ha Giang Loop 3-Day Small Group - from Hanoi, (Group/Individual) HANOI STREET FOOD TOUR, Incense Village Quang Phu Cau, Hat Village and Hanoi City Tour. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.

When is the best time to visit Hanoi?

+

Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.

How many days do you need in Hanoi?

+

Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.

Do I book through Outty or through the operator?

+

Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
