Asked by Philipp | Jun. 29, 2023 11:13
Hello, we would be very interested in booking your cruise. However since we are travelling with our small 2 year old child, we would like to ask first about the security measures provided on the boat. For instance, can you provide a life vest for a 2 year old (11 Kg/90cm)? Are there any places on the boat, where a small child could easily fall overboard (like wholes on the railings)? Thank you in advance for your answers and help!
Answered by Melissa | Jun. 29, 2023 11:13
Dear Mr. Philipp, Thank you for your questions. All our cruises can provide small life jackets upon request especially for young children. In general, most cruises are child friendly, however it is best to avoid the balcony area or watch your child closely while on the sundeck area. If you need any further information, please do not hesitate to contact us! Best regards, Melissa

Asked by George | Jun. 13, 2022 09:40
Hi, I was wondering for if the cruise take in those passengers who are on 2 nights or 1 night at the same time? Because as I was searching the calendar, it seems that we can book for the cruise to start daily. Does it mean that for those with 2 nights cruise, the ship will sail back to port to drop off the 1 night cruise passengers on the next day?
Answered by Melissa | Jun. 13, 2022 09:40
Dear George, Thank you for your email and question. At the moment La Casta Regal does not offer 3 day 2 night trip so they offer daily trip with 2 day 1 night program only. For other cruises that offer 3 day 2 night it really depends on each and every cruise whether the same boat is used to drop off guests on 2nd day (depending on number of vessels they have). If you need any further information please let me know! Melissa

Love the service by Mr Lam. He took such good care of us. He was very knowledgeable and had a good sense of humor as well. The bamboo boat trip to the cave was nice but maybe kayaking would be fun. Food was so yummy and too much of it. Overall a great experience.

We booked 3 Junior Suites for 2 nights on La Casta Regal. All cabins are clean, well equipped and comfortable. We were arranged next to each other for more convenience. The staff was all friendly and smiling. The trip to Cat Ba Island was quite interesting. The beach was very pristine and the scenery was spectacular. Food for the buffet lunch on the first day was average but all the other set menus were perfect. Cooking was fun, too.
