Asked by mo · 10 months ago
나는 성인 2, 아이2(7,8세) 가족 구성이다. 큰 침대 하나가 있는 방을 추천 받았는데 이 경우 추가 침대를 제공해주는지 궁금하다. 또한 하노이에서 항구까지 어떤 버스를 보내 주는지 궁금하다. 만약 가능하다면 버스 내부 사진을 보내줄 수 있습니까? 마지막으로 하노이에서 버스를 탈 때 가장 마지막에 서는 지점이 어디입니까? 그 부근으로 호텔을 예약하려고 합니다.
1 answerAAnswered by Annie · 10 months ago
Dear Mo, La Pandora cruise has the Family Suite that has 1 double bed and single bed that may fit your needs, I hope you consider it. Regarding the shuttle service, I am sorry that buses do not have a fixed pickup schedule as the pickup points vary everyday thus we cannot confirm which is the last point. Thank you for your understanding! Best regards, Annie (Ms.)
