Our flight from Hanoi airport to Da Nang has been changed from 20:00 to 19:00 on the day the cruise finishes, do you think we will have time to get back to Hanoi and then go to the airport to make the flight or do you think we need to change the flight?
Dear Phoebe Irvine, The cruise bus will take you back to the center at around 14:30 - 15:00, then it will take an extra hour to get to the airport so you will have plenty of time for your flight. Best regards, Annie (Ms.)
Elite of the Seas- If we book the two night three day cruise end of March what room category do I need to pick to not have an obstructed view? Do I stay on the same ship for both nights?
Dear Kevin Ornell, Regarding the Elite of the Seas cruise at the end of March, to ensure you have a room without an obstructed view for your two-night, three-day trip, I would suggest looking at the suites or cabins located on the higher floors. These are generally free from any obstructions. And to confirm, you will remain on the same ship for the duration of your two-night stay. Let me know if you need more details! Kind regards, Iris (Ms.)

10 out of 10. We booked the suite on the upper deck. It was clean, well equipped and spacious. The view of the bay was amazing all the way. The staff were super friendly and attentive. They must be very well trained. Love the tour to Cat Ba Island. Highly recommend everyone book 2 nights.
Our trip was made even better by David and Alee who really gave it their all. They were amazing, nothing was too much for them.
