Not worth the price and bad excursions
Overall disappointed with the experience. The reviews mentioned Dan as a highlight of the trip, yet we never met him.
Cruise itself - nice room (asked for two beds and they accommodated) but hot water didn’t work in tub. Also quite noisy being near the kitchen. Frustratingly, they started playing music at 6AM which made it impossible to fall back asleep.
Excursions - worst part of trip. Sights themselves are pretty cool, but they are so unbelievably crowded that it makes it impossible to enjoy. You are also not with a tour guide like many reviews say.
Food - highlight. Good buffet for lunch, solid 5 course dinner (nothing too too special though).
Drinks - alcoholic drinks pretty weak for price. You also have to pay for water which is completely absurd.
Staff - most were quite nice and helpful. But overall felt disorganized. Often felt yelled at for no particular reason.
Also to note - before and after you get on the boat you wait with 200 other people going on other boats with no AC. Absurdly disorganized.
Overall - not worth the $137 price. That should go much further in Vietnam than what we got.
