点评:Our journey began with a pre-arranged pick-up near our hotel, though the transfer included tourist-heavy service station stops in both directions despite our request to drive straight through. Once aboard Bhaya Soul, we were pleasantly surprised with an unexpected upgrade to the largest suite at the bow of the ship, complete with honeymoon flowers and a complimentary minibar.
Our butler, Hill, remained easily reachable via WhatsApp, and staff member Ivy stood out for her genuine warmth and constant smile.
The culinary program was exceptional across all meals, offering generous portions and curated menus, complemented by memorable activities like night squid fishing and visiting the Cua Van floating village.
However, certain aspects of the experience fell short. A hatch door (always open) built into our terrace floor led straight down to a service staircase, which compromised the sense of privacy on our outdoor deck. While the cruise promotes eco-friendly practices like reusable bamboo water bottles, finding individual plastic wrappings inside paper amenity packages felt contradictory. Weather prevented us from kayaking into the caves, and a bay clean-up activity left a questionable impression when collected plastic trash was transferred to a floating platform where it appeared to be burned rather than transported to the mainland.
Given the packed itinerary, a two-night stay is strongly recommended over a single night.
翻译:我们的旅程始于酒店附近预先安排好的接机服务,尽管我们要求直接前往目的地,但接送途中还是按照惯例在游客密集的服务区稍作停留。登上“Bhaya Soul”号后,我们惊喜地发现被安排到了船上最宽敞的船头套房——房间里还布置了新婚用的鲜花,并提供了免费迷你吧。
我们的管家希尔随时都可以通过WhatsApp联系得上。工作人员艾薇以其真挚的热情和始终挂在脸上的笑容而给人留下了深刻印象。
餐饮方面也堪称出色:每餐的份量都很足,菜单也经过精心挑选;此外还有夜间捕鱿鱼、参观Cua Van水上村落等令人难忘的活动。
不过,这次体验也有一些不足之处。我们露台的地板上有一个(始终敞开的)活板门,直通下面的服务楼梯,这破坏了户外露台的私密性。虽然这艘游轮倡导使用可重复使用的竹制水瓶等环保举措,但在纸质用品包装内却发现了单独的塑料包装,这一做法显得自相矛盾。天气原因使得我们无法乘皮划艇进入洞穴;而一次海湾清理活动也给人留下了不良印象——收集到的塑料垃圾被转移到一个浮动平台上,看似是被直接焚烧,而非运回陆地处理。
鉴于行程安排得极为紧凑……强烈建议入住两晚,而不要只住一晚。
