When packing for Cruise, the most important items to bring are comfortable clothing, swimwear, and sunscreen. If you travel during winter months (November to Feb), you may also need to pack a light jacket or sweater to keep warm during cooler evenings.
Typically, each cruise provides 1 – 2 bottles of water for free every day, and you will not be allowed to bring your own drinks. So, if you want to stay hydrated, bring some money (the drinks on board are a little pricy)
It is also recommended that you bring a camera or smartphone with enough of storage capacity for photos and videos in order to make the most of your trip. Prepare some waterproof protection for them, as you will be doing a lot of water-based activities.
Finally, remember to bring any medications or toiletries you might need while away from home.

Soraya Nguyen –
I am very sorry that I have to give Dora Cruise 3 star rating even though my family of 11 of us really enjoyed our time on your cruise ship for 3 days 2 nights.
We experienced a very bad situation that the sales representative Ms Ly Nguyen who booked for us 3 family connected rooms and one junior suite. It ended up she put my daughter and my 2 grandkids into a smaller room since they ran out of those rooms. She waited until the last minute to alert us the shortage of rooms right before we boarded the ship.
Then she promised to us that she would switch that room to the proper bigger room the next day but she did not deliver it.
We had to talk to the ship manager regarding this situation and then they promised that they will reimburse the difference. We would receive the reimbursement within 2-3 days.
I love to give Bruce ( the leader ) our appreciation since he took a very good care of us and our server who gave us his full attention and best service.
