Greetings, we have a big doubt, in all your rooms that are ok for 2 adults is mentioned *rollaway bed So, in our case is just my husband and our 14 year old girl... so, if I try to book for 3 adults (as for you a 14 year old child counts as an adult) your system marks 2 cabins/rooms! Of course we don't want our child to be alone in another cabin and we are interested in the big cabins you have with wide nice view. How do I book then making sure we will have a rollaway bed instead of a second room? Thanks
Answered by Jolie | Jun. 12, 2021 08:38

Answered by Ms Bailey | Dec. 22, 2020 04:51
Dear Kumar Dhruv, Thank you for your question. My name is Bailey from Halong Bay Tour department and I'm glad to assist you with your trip. In my experience, the 32-week pregnant women should not go to Halong bay for safety reasons. But if she wants to go, she just stays on the boat and can not join any activities and we have no responsibility for any problem during the trip. Also, from Halong to Hanoi take around 3 hours drive so she will very tired. I hope you can think about this and take the trip after your baby was born will be better. Should any further assistance please feel free to contact me. Best regards, Bailey(Ms.)
