I just had a great trip, guys!Recently, I see quite a lot of people traveling in the form of Ha Long yacht. Since I have never experienced and are quite curious, last time I and you decided to go try it once to see if there is anything different from normal tours. This article I will review the details of my last 2 day 1 night Ha Long cruise, let’s start with me!
TRANSPORT + / Move to Ha Long yacht In this trip, I choose the 5-star Marageret yacht *. About transportation to Ha Long, the yacht has a limousine shuttle from Hanoi to Quang Ninh and vice versa, I find it very convenient to use this service. The day I picked up at the Hanoi Opera House at 8:30 to 8:30, before the train party, sent me the driver’s contact information so I actively contacted the car interest and understood the time of the driver’s pick up. see me off, I also park here in the afternoon Travel time is about 2h30 hours, Car ride the highway so it is quite fast compared to normal road, on the way 30 minutes stop for visitors to visit the pearl culture area, here you will be visit the pearl making process and buy some pearl products made by indigenous people (prices vary by type, price is available, and price is available)
The car has about 8 seats, spacious and clean, so it will feel more airy than normal cars. On the car with full air conditioning, free wifi to use. Although the road moves a bit far, but it does not bounce, the car goes very smoothly so everyone will be assured that they will not get tired. Near 12 o’clock we arrive, in the waiting room of the Maragret yacht to rest a little and check-in proceduresWhile waiting for check-in procedures by the cruise ship’s side, guests will be provided with tea and coffee snacks. Snacks including several types of Bim Bim, burns, cereal are quite easy to eat. The train station has 2 floors with spacious, spacious, free wifi for guests to use while waiting to board. Besides, you can also go to the yacht’s lounge by yourself without having to ride their car. If you have your own car or in Ha Long you can move to the waiting area by yourself, and of course there is no surcharge for the shuttle bus
+ / Move during the trip In 2 days and 1 night of the journey we stayed entirely on Margaret yacht, floating in the middle of Ha Long Bay. The cruise ship will arrive at a number of attractions on schedule, from yachting to these points, everyone will travel by a tender, each time it takes only a few minutes.Before cruising Ha Long, I was afraid of getting seasick, because I myself was a person with a weak chance to ride very often. However, during the 2 days of joining the cruise, I was very boastful and didn’t feel drunk at all. Personally, I feel that when I’m on a yacht, I can’t feel the ship’s movement, so it’s quite safe and I feel less drunk.
EATING ON A BOAT What to eat while cruising Ha Long? During the cruise, all meals are fully included in the cruise price. The 2 day 1 night schedule will include all 4 meals including: 2 lunches for 2 days, 1 dinner (day 1), 1 breakfast buffet (day 2). The first lunch on the cruise we ate was the Buffet meal, the food was quite plump including squid, shrimp, fish, rice, and soup. Since I haven’t had breakfast that day, when I got on the boat I was very hungry, I ate a lot, but found that the food on the boat was very adequate for tourists. For dinner, I eat a set menu of 5 dishes with dishes cooked in European style, because I am a person who loves European food so I find it delicious. The next breakfast was a light buffet, including lunch. Pho, eggs, bread … with a breakfast, those dishes are enough for an energetic day. The second day buffet lunch was quite early around 9:30, I did check-out procedures and showed up at the restaurant for lunch, the food was not as much as the first day’s lunch but there were also full dishes, there were still some seafood real. I have finished eating until 10am and have full stomach.
Overall, the food on Margaret Cruise is very delicious and plump, I give 9/10 points. With two girls like us, we even find the ration a bit too much, every meal is full. One point I really like is that there will be many different groups during the trip, but the yacht will arrange a table for each group, not sitting together, creating the most privacy and comfort for customers.
ABOUT THE MARGARET SHIP+ / Design yacht Margaret Cruise is an iron train, including 4 floors: the first floor and the second floor are bedrooms, the 3rd floor is the restaurant area and 4 level rooms, the top is sundeck with a bar – where drinks are served. When I got on the deck to rest, people could relax, watch the sunset,… When I entered the Maragret yacht, I was impressed by the modern, luxurious design. The walls of the house, floors, and stairs are all designed in the same color to create a modern and luxurious feeling
+ / Yacht bedroom My sisters and I are in Deluxe Ocean View room on the first floor, this room is about 20 square meters, small and pretty. In the room has 1 single bed, air conditioning, mini bar, 1 small locker for storage, clean fully equipped bathroom. For me, there is a small minus point that when I turn on the hot water and wait a few minutes with yes, at first I think the boat has no hot water, then I talk about this problem to the staff on the yacht. It was explained that the yacht runs on oil material to operate the electrical system, so when you turn on the hot water at the same time, the electricity system will slow down and not supply immediately, wait a few seconds. minute. This is the situation that occasional trains will encounter and ming that visitors will understand and calmly wait a few minutes. I think this is not a big problem either, Waiting time is only about 3 to 5 minutes so it’s okay. Apart from that, I find everything is fine.
Maragaret yacht schedule + / Day 1: Explore Sung Sot Cave – Kayaking The first scheduled day after lunch is about 2:00 pm, I check in, then rest around 14.45 will be at the reception to visit the first point. The cruise side informs the schedule very clearly, going from desk to table to inform the program and departure time. If guests have any questions, the staff will always explain to the customer to understand According to the original schedule, I was told that the first day the ship would visit Ti Top Island the next day would visit Sung Sot cave, but that day, I was informed by the boat manager because there was a large Chinese group of tourists. Therefore, the ship will flexibly change for tourists to go to Sung Sot cave first, the next day will go to Ti Top island to avoid congestion. Personally, I really like this flexible change, because I am afraid where to go, especially many customers are quite noisy.After meeting at the reception, all visitors will move to Tender to follow the instructions to move to Sung Sot cave to visit. Travel time is quite fast, about 10 minutes we arrive. Heard the tour guide introduced about the sights and I started to visit the cave. Indeed, as one of the largest and most beautiful caves in Ha Long Bay, the loose stalactites and light effects make the cave very shimmering. However, taking pictures inside the cave is not very nice because the cave is quite dark. I have about 1 hour to visit here. Personally, I feel that going to Surprise cave is quite gentle, not tired
After visiting Surprise cave, tourists move on yachts to change and up tender move to the Kayak area. In this section, the boat staff also reminds guests to change into swimsuits, easy to operate, which will be more convenient for boating. From the yacht moving to the Kayaking area quite quickly takes about 5 minutes. Kayaking for about 1 boat, this is a very interesting activity. Although I did not know how to paddle at first, but about 10 minutes later I paddled well. After about 45 minutes rowing Kayak everyone moved up tender and back to the main boat. When going back to the cave or going back to kayak, the yacht staff prepare water for visitors so that tired travelers can have a refreshing drink right away.After going back to shower and changing, around 6:15 am, I go on deck to participate in cooking class, after the spring rolls are finished, I will enjoy the results made by myself. In addition, the boat side also prepared some snacks such as shrimp puff, roasted peanuts … I ordered a glass of moctail lying on the sunbathing floor and watching the sunset. After that, we had dinner, around 9am of night squid fishing experience, only a little regret that I couldn’t catch any squid that day, my sister got one. This activity is quite interesting so don’t miss it!
+ / Day 1: Explore Ti Top Island At the beginning of the new day, our group participated in a tai chi class on the rooftop of the yacht and felt the fresh air in the early morning. Next, everyone will have breakfast and then visit Ti Top Island. Here you have 2 options to do activities, one is swimming right in the top island area or climbing to the top to admire Ha Long Bay. That day I chose the mountain leu, the mountain is not too high so it is not too tiring, but for those who are old, it is not advisable to join because the climbing path is quite narrow.Around 9:00 am I go back to the yacht, change to clean the room and move the luggage out the door and go to the restaurant to rest to prepare lunch before returning to shore
