Worth a 2-night cruise

The Senior Suite was very nice, we had a standard double room, which was ideal for us. This contains a bath, a wonderful shower, a large terrace, and a comfy bed. The cuisine was also excellent, our favorite meal was breakfast, which included a selection of pastries, pho, an omelette, and toast. We tried the pho and omelette, which were both excellent. Overall, I would highly suggest this trip ..More
