Finland"The cruise and its itinerary was good but the weather is not"
First, I want to say thanks to the staffs and yours activities. It was good, however, I took a trip on a cloudy and windy day, so I didnt have a chance to enjoy Halong Bay in the best way. Anyway, your services was great, I think I'll come back on a better day.
