Halong Bay Cruise – Vietnam
We took a punt and booked online. Unfortunately our first choice boat based on Tripadvisor was fully booked and we ended up on the 3-star Golden Lotus Classic cruise. I think this is an overly generous rating – it was a 2-star at most IMO – and I’m not that fussy. Cost was $US220 including … Continue reading

Royal Caribbean – Hong Kong to Vietnam – Cruise Compass – day 1

We vacated our … Continue reading
