Even though I live in Vietnam, this was my first cruise, and Doris was a great choice. The cabin was spotless, and the staff were kind throughout the trip. I enjoyed the cooking class and meeting other travelers. The itinerary was not rushed, and the views were amazing. I only wish the kayaking session was a bit longer. Hannah guided me through the booking and made everything simple. I would recommend this cruise to both locals and tourists.

I chose Doris Cruise for its modern design and smaller size. The cabin was simple but elegant, and the view was unbeatable. The food was better than expected, especially the seafood soup. The safety briefing was clear and reassuring. Hannah’s communication during booking was fast and helpful. I would recommend this cruise to travelers seeking comfort and peaceful scenery.

Doris Cruise felt like excellent value. My partner and I loved the cabin layout and how clean everything was. The kayaking was peaceful, and the water looked beautiful. The staff seemed genuinely happy to assist guests. We waited a little before boarding, but once on the ship the experience was smooth and relaxing. Hannah made the booking stress free.

I booked Doris Cruise because I wanted a modern ship that was not overly crowded. The atmosphere was calm and comfortable. The staff were professional, and the rooms were clean with great views. Meals were delicious, though I would have liked a few more vegetable options. Sunrise was the best moment of the trip. Thank you to Hannah for arranging everything smoothly.

Initially, we were pleased with our experience on the Doris cruise, but things took a turn on the second and final day. The excursion to the cave turned out to be quite underwhelming, as we didn’t actually explore a cave but instead had a brief boat ride. When it came time to settle our bill, we discovered all our happy hour drinks were charged at full price, contrary to the half-price deal we were promised. We were under the impression it was a buy one, get one offer, but when we went to settle up, we were told that wasn’t the case. The exact terms of the happy hour remain unclear, as we ended up paying the full amount. While they removed one drink from the bill, they added two more as ‘compensation,’ which left us quite dissatisfied with how the cruise concluded.

My friends and I wanted a fun but relaxing cruise, and Doris was perfect. The cabin was very clean with a comfortable bed. The jacuzzi on the top deck was a highlight. The staff were friendly and energetic. The beach stop was a bit busy, but kayaking made up for it. Booking with Hannah was easy and clear. I would happily book again.

Doris Cruise was an excellent mid range option. The cabin was large with modern decor. I loved watching the bay from the balcony. The kayak route was beautiful and not too crowded. The Wi Fi was not strong, but I did not mind disconnecting for a day. Hannah recommended this ship because I wanted something modern, and she was right. Great experience overall.

I took my parents on this cruise, and they enjoyed it very much. The staff were attentive and patient. The rooms were side by side as Hannah arranged. Meals were light and delicious which suited my parents. The ship does have some stairs that older travelers should take slowly, but the crew were always ready to help. A gentle and scenic experience.

I chose Doris Cruise because it looked modern, and in reality it felt even better. The cabin was comfortable, and the balcony view was amazing. The itinerary was balanced, not too packed. Dinner was excellent with fresh seafood. Hannah gave honest advice during booking which I appreciated. The only thing I would change is having a softer pillow. Other than that, it was a great trip.
