We did an overnight cruise as a family of 5 and we all really enjoyed the beauty of Halong bay. We had heard that the bay is very polluted, we did not see this initially, but the next morning we cruised through a very polluted part of the bay, which was so disappointing to see as it really is a beautiful area. The cruise itself was good, the food was all satisfactory, the drinks were very expensive, but we actually took our own soda drinks on board so only needed to buy a minimal amount. My children really enjoyed the pool and the activities offered. The outing on the second day was a short trip being rowed on a small boat through and around some caves, it was nice. Our room was adequate, though unfortunately our bed was terrible and we did see two cockroaches. The staff were all friendly, a little hard to understand - the safety instructions would have been better to have had written. All in all we enjoyed our experience, but one night was definitely enough.
