On Orchid cruise 2 they serve vegetarian, if you ask the cruise manager.

Like most cruises, bringing your own alcohol is not permitted, except consumed in your private cabin. I might add also that drink prices are quite high.

This was an amazing cruise. Staff are fantastic. Water is provided in the room... 2 bottles. We bought our own soft drinks for the duration of the cruise. We always bought alcohol when it was happy hour to keep cost low. I also decanter my water bottle, filled it with my favourite gin and snuck it onboard😊... from recollection water and standard coffee, tea is included. All other drinks with meal you have to pay for The locals selling snacks and drinks via their own rowing boats can be expensive. You will need to negotiate

No, there is no weight limit. You can bring with you as much as you can carry :-)

Halong Bay is a beautiful area and all the boats tend to anchor in similar places but it would not be detrimental to your overall experience. The difference between one and two nights seemed to be that a tender takes the one nighters back to the mainland port whilst the two nighters enjoy their second day of activities. You’ll enjoy it - the food and service was exemplary. Hope that helps you.

We enjoyed it all. The only thing we didn’t do was the kayak on the last morning. We wanted to chill in our lovely cabin and enjoy the views from our balcony

Approx 15 minutes from the ferry terminal to the Azalea Boat.

The itinerary on their website was what we did. They follow it fairly closely! Was ammmmmaaaazing!!!!

Hi can’t remember much in the way of any accommodation near Got terminal. We stayed in Hanoi and used the Azalea cruise transfer bus which was very efficient
