Doris Cruise

Chambre conforme aux fotos mais le menage pas top,activité de l'après midi très moyenne et très limité juste du kayak dans un endroit entouré de gros bateaux donc vraiment pas top, et pas de wifi à bord, tous les clients etaient vraiment mécontent de l'absence de wifi pourtant on nous donne les accès aux wifi mais ils n'ont fonctionné pour personne

Great value for a wonderful cruise along Ha Long Bay. The staff is top notch. Cordial, helpful and enthusiastic. The food offering has variety and delicious. Cabins are clean with balconies to enjoy the amazing views. Highly recommended,

Services was good, but boat could be a lot nicer if they give it more maintenance. Our room was not the best… make sure when you book you don’t get the 400-403 rooms, you won’t have balcony. Bathroom were very moldy, very poor condition. Our bed bedsheets were stained… Food was very good! We did different activities like kayaking, fishing at night, happy hour and more. Is definitely not a bad option since is only for a night.

We got the executive suite. The room is bigger and the balcony but that’s about it. Furniture is old albeit the cruise debuted in 2022. The shower didn’t drain properly. They also turned off my AC the morning after thinking that I only stayed for 1 night so we came back after a day of excursion to a very hot room. we booked the 3 days 2 nights itinerary. The first night dinner was not good. Also half of the food was vegetarian. The second night dinner was much better with more meat option. Both dinners were buffet. First and second lunch was set menu, which was ok. Last lunch was buffet so there were more options to choose from. Breakfast was below average. Happy hour cocktails were decent, although prices are steep, which is to be expected. The things I like the most are the aCtivities and the scenery.

Super Cruise til en fornuftig pris. Sødt og behjælpeligt personale.

Beautiful cruise.

It was amazing

It was great

Zalige cruise met leuke activiteiten! Mooi en nieuw interieur. Vriendelijk personeel! Een onvergetelijke ervaring! Het personeel regelde voor ons ook vervoer naar onze volgende stop: Cat ba Island, omdat de cruise heel dicht bij het eiland stopte. Zo hoefden we niet met de transfer terug naar Tuan Chau. Als we dan toch 1 opmerking moeten geven, is het dat de drankjes aan de dure kant zijn in vergelijking met andere locaties die we deden in Vietnam.

The care and attention of the staff really elevated this experience. Katie and all the the other staff working April 26-28 were phenomenal.

I have given Doris Cruise a 1 star but this is not reflective of the majority of staff, as they do their absolute best despite working horrendously long hours for very little pay. I would not recommend this cruise to anyone, unless you want very poor value for money. The price of drinks on board is ridiculously high, and it's not as though they're in the middle of an ocean miles from land. Tea and coffee is supposed to be provided free of charge in the cabin but getting a replenishment of supplies over and above the single serve each is impossible, which was clearly an attempt to get you to buy it in the bar/restaurant. Food ran out, to the extent that there was no butter for breakfast on our 2nd morning. The itinerary was not as advertised and when I complained about this following our cruise and said I planned to post a bad review, they asked me to wait 24 hours for them to respond. In that 24 hours they updated their website and as I'd stupidly not taken screenshots in advance, I then had no evidence. Doris Cruises then stopped replying to me, despite saying that they wanted to remedy my complaint! Yes, the scenery is stunning but the cruise is not worth the money we paid. A much better experience and the opportunity to see far more of Cat Ba island could be had by taking a day cruise and staying on the island itself. I only wish that I'd known this before as I could have saved a lot of money.

Horrible stay in the Executive Cabin (was supposed to be higher comfort, and was 180° opposite). The pipe with deadly diesel fumes is located exactly (!) behind the terrace. You can't breathe, can't switch to air conditioning as the air inlet is also located on the terrace. When next night we changed to another (lower class) it was ok. But we still do not recommend the experience. The fumes, even if not in a cabin, surround the cruise and fill the whole bay (there are numerous ships parking next to each other overnight)

Good. kindly staffs.

Our trip with Doris Cruise Line was amazing. Everything was flawless from start to finish. The communication was extremely easy for pickup and drop off. The bus was right on time and picked us up right outside our hotel. The bus was extremely comfortable and quick. From there the tender from the pier to the boat was quick and easy. The staff was extremely inviting and enthusiastic. The food during our stay was excellent. There was a wide variety for all appetites. Our room was fantastic and the views from the balcony were surreal. The entire boat was clean top to bottom. The location the cruise went to was very secluded during the day. We were worried about this because many travel blogs and forums said the Ha Long Bay cruises are over crowded with ships and not worth it. The Doris cruise was not like this at all. We spent a lot of time searching for a cruise and there were many to choose from. Don’t think any more, JUST BOOK IT!

Exceptional experience. I am really impressed by the professionalism of the staff. The transfer bus was so comfortable. The room was clean, spacious, the food options were the best, as a vegetarian I always feel « left out » but at this cruise I had so many options to chose from. It was such a peaceful cruise.

A fantastic stay and a fantastic trip. Would highly recommend. Thank you

We absolutely loved our time on Doris. The staff were incredibly welcoming and helpful. Brian was a character, making mango daiquiri on request. Michael was incredibly helpful and was able to tell us a lot about the wildlife in the area. The food was amazing (sometimes a bit more than needed) and all of the days trips were great. Glad we did the 2 night cruise.

Me encantó el crucero, la comida es rica y las bebidas también. Mi habitación con vista impecable y la atención del personal también. Lo recomiendo

Nice boat with friendly and helpful crew. The boat taking you to and from the boat took 40-60minutes which was a bit more than expected. Food was ok, but the views were amazing. Nice and clean rooms.

Honeymoon suite was incredible, huge and beautiful, very large outdoor private terrace (though semi overlooked by next door). Great experience, though would have liked more time cruising (we had a 45 minute tender boat transfer) and as all these cruises, tried to pack too much activity into a short time and sadly even Lan Ha Bay was busy with lots of rubbish in the water. Food was good including lots of vegetarian options. Overall very good.
