my husband is diabetic and would need to have something to eat before 8.30 would there be food available on the boat
1 answerAAnswered by Bonnie · 2 years ago
Dear Maureen, Alova Day Cruise is a day cruise that only includes lunch. Guests should have breakfast before the bus pick-up (pick-up time: 8:00-8:30am) and can have dinner after leaving the cruise (17:00-18:00). On the way back to Hanoi, the bus may stop on the way at a stop point where guests can find something to eat there. I hope it helps! Should you need any further information, please feel free to ask. Best regards, Bonnie (Ms.)
