We are booked on the new boat
Jasmine Junk early next year. Has
anyone been on a cruise on this boat yet? I would appreciate a
report
My friend and I are booked on this boat for two nights Mid March
2008- booked through Luxury Vietnam Tours because our friend had
previously used them- will let you guys know how it goes. Bit
worried about the weather it appears to be very cold there at the
moment!
My husband and I went on the
Jasmine boat for one night in March
08 (US and Kiwi). It definitely looked like the best boat in Halong
Bay.
It is a very new boat with a good floor plan that allows you to sit
inside or out. Nice furnishing and fittings etc.
Book a room with a private balcony if you can. We got a
complimentary upgrade to one of the Jacuzzi suites which is a little
bigger.
Service was superb. Staff very friendly. Food was good.
High recommendation despite the high price.
My wife and I did a three day/two night trip on
Jasmine
in late April, and it was pretty terrific. The boat itself is
beautiful, and very well appointed. The one-night package seemed a
bit rushed; I'm glad we didn't do that - on our second day, we were
put onto a small boat which took us to a series of secluded lagoons
for sea kayaking (which was easier than expected) and then lunch on
the boat (freshly cooked, served with white linen, silverware etc),
followed by a swim in a quiet bay. Wonderful, apart from a broken
rudder on the sea kayak which saw us driven into a cave wall by an
incoming tide - which was pretty terrifying. The food was very good,
but there was too much! 6 course dinners are grand, but rather
filling! It isn't cheap, but we didn't think that it was bad value -
I'd recommend it. It is a very slick polished operation.
For all those waiting on a report on the
Jasmine Cruise...here goes.
We were picked up on time at our hotel in Hanoi and transported to
the cruise terminal in Halong Bay. They are a bit away from where
most of the boast leave from so it wasn't quiet the madhouse it
appeared to be there as we drove by.
We were met and seated in a waiting area where we could purchase a
drink then waited until we were called for departure. Transfers all
went well and the boat was beautiful. It took a while for everyone
to be transferred and allocated their rooms but the bar was open.
Weather on departure was very poor but when we got further into the
bay the cool winds were blocked and it was beautiful. Lunch was
seafood and stylishly prepared. Tours off the boat were interesting
and all other meals were excellent. Rooms were well appointed and
very comfortable. Just remember to close the curtains if you are
getting changed especially if your cabin is on the lower level!!
Staff were pleasant and the bar was well stocked although, as
expected, a little expensive.
My only criticism is they showed the movie 'Indochine' after dinner
just when we were all getting ready to relax and maybe have a few
more drinks. We all moved to the back deck and only about 8 of the
30-40 passengers stayed to watch the movie. My itinerary said
interaction and dancing with staff after dinner ...didn't even look
like happening. A magnificent, not to missed destination in elegant
comfort
Hi, we read some feeds back on tripadvisor forum and already booked
Jasmine cruise through a local travel agency for our trip at the end
of this month . They have recommended us to travel on this luxury
cruise, and ensure the same quality as quite lot of money we pay.
Service is excellent and it has a trade mark on your own.
but, we would still like to know more about Jasmine, could anyone
share with us including essentials we need to bring with us on
travelling to Vietnam, Halong,
Many thanks
