The food was great and plentiful. The staff was friendly and the tour guide did an excellent job. The facilities were well maintained and the ship itself was beautiful. Our cabin had a window with a nice view. Overall a nice experience.
We had a wonderful time on Starlight. The view is marvelous and the staff made our trip the best. Everyone was friendly and always looked after us. A bunch of activities were included such as caving, kayaking, swimming, cooking class, morning taichi, etc. If we had the chance, we would book 2 nights to have more time to relax and enjoy the view.
We booked 1 night on Starlight Cruise. The ship was clean and the cabin was spacious. Food was average. The activities were abundant but a bit too many. The attractions were crowded because almost all cruises came at the same time. Anyway, the scenery was spectacular.
The ship is big but needs some maintenance. The cabin was nice and the staff was friendly. Recommended.
Tery did a very good job. He was very knowledgeable and friendly. The trip to the floating fishing village was interesting. We learned much about the local life of the people here. Definitely worth your money.
The trip was well planned. Kayaking was the best activity. Mr. Lang was excellent tour guide who was always friendly and took care of us so well.
We are a group of friends staying on Starlight for 2 days 1 night. We found this experience very interesting. The food was nice and well presented. The program was plentiful. The staff was hospitable and kind, especially host Tery. Keep up the good work!
Starlight cruise looks beautiful. Our cabin was very clean and great sized. We liked the jacuzzi in the room and had some relaxing time in it. Thanks for a good trip.
We were very impressed by the dedicated and cheerful manager Mr. Tommy. He made our trip more enjoyable apart from the good food and itinerary. Would recommend to our friends and family.
The trip was very nice. The food and staff were excellent. Our tour guide was exceptional. The activities were very varied and well organized.
