Great experience!
The Doris is AMAZING! We felt well taken care of, from pickup to dropoff. We actually wished we would have booked two nights instead of one. The food is very good and caters to Western tastes while also offering local options. The activities were engaging, the staff were pleasant and all spoke good English. The rooms (and especially bathroom!) are very well sized for a boat room, and very comfortable. The boat itself is well kept, and has amenities like a hot tub. Balconies on this boat are very private, you don't get somebody else just behind a thin wall. Our complaints were very minor, like spa treatments only being offered in room without linen/pillow replacements, or the front desk not being staffed in the early morning. Overall, we would be happy to undertake another journey with Doris Cruise and fully recommend them.

Had a wonderful experience with Doris cruise!! Cruise ship was clean and spacious. Food was great, had lots of meals for a one night cruise. The staff service was excellent especially Mia. There was a lot of things planned for guests if they wanted to go on excursions or activities as well! Highly recommend!

Staff were very friendly and organized. Activities were fun but wish there was something other than squid fishing at night as it was not in season and you were not going to catch anything. Food was good but not a lot of variety.

Lovely boat and lovely crew as well! There are some others like Elite which look a bit more modern but this has a nice colonial feel. Also, it’s not as big so make sure where your room is for the noise.

Cruise was ok though the choice of food poor considering we told them I don't like seafood. There was NO entertainment we could hear the other cruises with karaoke and we had nothing on the 2nd night the crew had packed up by 8pm and we asked them to put the chair covers back so we could sit up top which they did. We felt like we were keeping them from their own party which was in the tender boat. We found that at the end there was alot of confusion on paying the bill and we ended up having to pay 3 separate bills which is unacceptable. It should have been put into 1 bill as we are unsure if we got charged double with all the confusion. So if you like no entertainment I guess it's ok

Cockroach galore
This was meant to be the highlight of our 6 week Vietnam trip but it was really disappointing. It seemed Amazing first off, but soon we realised it definitely was not 5 stars. Our room had cockroaches in and we had to change rooms twice so that we could sleep without being covered in bugs. Due to having to move rooms twice, the second time at 2am, we missed the excursion on the last day which we really wanted to go on, but everything starts so early that you can’t really get good sleep and go out on the excursions. The food on the buffet on the first night wasn’t great. Also I wouldn’t bother booking the transfer back to Hanoi with Doris cruise- we got dropped off on a random busy road 1.5 hours away from our hotel instead of the Pan Pacific which we paid for! The crew were brilliant though. I would not choose this cruise again.
