Review Body: The boat was beautiful and ornate, the rooms so spacious and clean. The bathroom was huge. The staff was so friendly and made the trip very personal. They handled the large group of Indian rotarians that were very rude and demanding very well, whilst still catering to our every need. I have food intolerances and they went way above and beyond to cater to my needs. I would recommend this cruise to anyone. Mr Jackie Pham and Miss Jenny in particular were amazing although the whole crew were fabulous.

Review Body: We were happy to spend two nights on the boat - the full day at Cat Ba was worth it, considering how long it takes to get out into the bay. The room was clean and comfortable, awesome bathroom, fantastic service all around. We enjoyed the food as well, two different dinners, both excellent. Good pace of activities, all well organized. Despite the fact that the weather was not great, we had a wonderful time on the cruise.

Review Body: Gorgeous cruise! Very beautiful boat and amazing rooms. The staff were all so sweet and helpful. The excursions were amazing, some of our highlights of the whole trip! The food could use a bit of improvement and at the price we paid we were a little disappointed that we had to pay for our own drinks and most soft drinks (except what was included in the buffets) but overall I would highly recommend Aquas of the Seas.

Review Body: The 3 day 2 night experience we had on Aqua of the Seas was fabulous, from the beginning until the end. The ship itself and the rooms were beautiful. The views were incredible. The staff were friendly and helpful. The food was amazing and extremely plentiful. The experiences both on and off the ship were wonderful. It was a great experience. I would recommend taking the 2 night option - it was great!

Review Body: Beautiful room on the 2nd floor with balcony. Very comfortable beds with great bathroom. Staff could not do enough for you. Bathroom hot water didn’t get hot enough for my liking. But a very minor aspect. Better WiFi would have been good.

Review Body: We had booked 2N3D trip. The trip was okish, but not really worth the money. The cabin itself was nice with the balcony, clean and well-equipped. -The pools was a huge plastic inflammable pool. Not all at inviting. -the staff was sweet -food was okish. Bad breakfast, weird lunch times. They didn’t refill the buffet if something was out, which meant that the first people rushed and ate the most interesting dishes. -the trip on the first day (fishing village) was disappointing.
