The ship was old and the cabins were small, less comfortable than I anticipated. It was a bit of a challenge to navigate with multiple people in the same room. Some areas onboard also needed maintenance. The food was just average and expected more options for lunch and dinner.
The staff were incredibly friendly and helpful. They went out of their way to make sure we had a great time. The cabins were quite small but neat. The food options were quite limited, mainly Vietnamese cuisine. By the way, we enjoyed onboard activities and kayaking in Bai Tu Long Bay.
We were all first-time cruisers but on Renea cruise, we felt welcome and comfortable. The price just fitted the cruise quality but the staff and captain were outstanding. They were very attentive and helpful. Thank the team so much!
The cruise lacked modern amenities and spacious cabins. However, accommodations were still clean and neat. The staff were accommodating and we had a great sunset party onboard, took a lot of beautiful pictures. Excursions to the bay were memorable with kayaking and swimming. Highly recommend the cruise for adventurers.
While the dining options were included, the quality was just above average and not very delicious. The additional costs for drinks were quite high. The staff were friendly and helpful to us. They provided us with clear guidance and organized many funny activities. Bai Tu Long bay was beautiful and pristine, unlike Halong Bay and this was the best part. This cruise is an acceptable option for budget-minded travelers.
Renea was a budget cruise but very welcoming and accommodating. I had a chance to meet a lot of guests and strike up conversations. Dining options were plentiful but not very yummy. Bai Tu Long Bay was quiet and lacked tourists. We can enjoy our own space on the bay without being bothered by others.
I and my family members had a lot of fun onboard. The entertainment and activities onboard were surprisingly enjoyable. I didn't feel like I was missing out on anything just because I was on a budget cruise. There were plenty of things to do such as sunset party, squid fishing, and singing onboard. The cabins were at acceptable quality, not very modern. The food was decent too. It was a general good experience with the price.
I was amazed by the onboard entertainment and activities onsite which were all funny an amazing. The cruise allowed me to visit multiple beautiful destinations on Bai Tu Long Bay with highlights of visiting the cave. The value for the price I paid exceeded my expectations. The cabin followed traditional style but was very well-maintained.
