We made our reservation with Cruiseinhalongbay. When we got to the boat, the crew and Dong and Huonh were there to greet us. Everyone was very friendly, helpful, and had a great sense of humour. Chef Tam made us a delicious dinner. After dinner, we tried to catch squid, but we didn’t get any.We had a good time
