下龍灣Era遊輪

Nem de longe um Cruzeiro de luxo Escolhemos este barco pois ele parecia novo, apenas parecia. Nosso quarto tinha cheiro de esgoto, o chão era grudento, como se algo tivesse sido derramado e ninguém limpou, e havia apenas 1 tomada funcionando no quarto inteiro, e esta estava com fios expostos e desmontando da parede. A comida do almoço do primeiro dia era boa, agora as jantas eram horríveis, assim como o café da manhã, que servia apenas pão com manteiga. Outra questão foi o transfer que reservamos através da empresa do Cruzeiro, indo e voltando de Hanoi. Solicitamos a volta para o aeroporto e em nenhum momento foi nos dito que não seria possível levar até lá, e no momento que soubemos que não levariam até o aeroporto e sim só em Old Quarter, foram ríspidos ao tentar resolver, colocando a culpa em nós, os hóspedes. Assim como foi a reação da equipe do barco ao ver nossa avaliação que eles mesmos pediram para fazermos. A melhor parte sem dúvidas foi o passeio a Viet Hai/Cag Village, que era terceirizado. A comida foi muito boa do almoço, assim como o passeio em si.

Överlag en bra båttur. Kryssning kan vi inte kalla det. Lyxig? Nja, lite att ta i. Kan behöva lite underhåll, men inget som stör. Rent och fint och vi sov gott. Mycket trevlig personal, utflykten dag 2 väldigt intressant. Tycker det fanns mat för alla (vi äter inte fiske el skaldjur).

We really wanted to try a stay in Halong Bay for our trip and booked this cruise. However, our room was a little damaged. We had two twin beds, and one of the ottomans at the end of the bed had a massive yellow stain on it. In addition, one of the windows in our room had a long crack in it (it was probably around 4 feet long total and spanned most of the width of the window). Lastly, when we came in our AC wasn't working at all. Other than our room, the cruise felt very rushed and the food was plated / presented really well, but the quality of food was really low. Lots of chewy, poorly cooked meats. Our guide for the trip was fantastic and very outgoing, and loved his energy. However, everything else felt lack luster. In regards to travel, the schedule was not clearly communicated before the trip - we thought we would disembark around 930am and return to Hanoi around 1230pm, however we didn't dock at the marina again until 12pm. The shuttle service they provide to and from the marina also stops at a different, local place for a "bathroom break" for 30 minutes where it feels forced for tourists to buy souvenirs / food. This happened to us both on the way there and on the way back. Lastly, if you sit outside, you will be harassed by locals on boats trying to sell you snacks, drinks, etc. It was constant. Overall, we wouldn't book this cruise again. We would want to do 2 nights instead of 1, and try out a different cruise to see how the quality and experience might compare.

Out of 600 odd options in Halong Bay we chose Era cruises. From Hanoi to Halong Bay and the cruise, everything was very well organised by Mr Duc and his team, It is an experience to remember. Team at Era cruise were so very helpful all along. The room itself was outstanding.

Unerwünschte Gruppentouristik Diese Hotelübernachtung ‘Halong Bay’ ist auf dem Wasser. Suggeriert wird ein hochwertiges Schiff mit einem tollen Hotelzimmer (Schiffskabine in dem Fall). Era Cruises setzt sich dann schnell in Verbindung nach Buchung. Es entstehen dann Zusatzkosten, da man ja erst einmal zu dem Schiff muss. Zu dem Zweck fährt dann ein Shuttle von Hanoi welches einen vom Hotel abholt und dann wieder hinbringt. Die Fahrt dauert ca. 3h. Eine halbe davon Stunde ist ein nichtangekündigter Verkaufsstop auf einer Perlenfarm an der Autobahn. Genau das ist der Punkt, man kommt mit dieser Reise in die gelenkte Gruppentouristik. Das Schiff selbst ankerte in der Halong Bucht, mit einem Tenderschiff wurden alle Gäste, darunter eine Gruppe von 20 Personen vom Hafen in die Bucht gebracht. Es gab einen Reiseleiter der sich ganz auf die Gruppentouristik im Sinne von ständig guter Laune verbreiten (wir winken alle dem Personal des Schiffs zu, viele Witze usw.) konzentrierte. Die Schiffskabine hatte ca. 40qm gefühlt. Das Bad war gross. Der Wohnraum auch. Der Balkon sehr klein. Die Einrichtung war voller Staub und Haare und nicht sehr gepflegt. Das Wasser aus dem Waschbecken tröpfelte nur, Dusche schon stärker. Der Tresor war defekt, wurde auch nicht repariert. Eine grosse Scheibe war gesprungen.Das Schiff ist gefühlt ca. 20-30 Jahre alt. Leistungen: Lunch, Dinner, Frühstück. Das Schiff fährt kaum. Dazu gibt es noch mehrere Angebote (Kajak, Baden, Tai Chi, Grotte). Die Halong Bucht ist voller Schiffe.
