Average
Not as expected. Check-in guide was not clear and we had to wait too much time before boarding. Our room was quite degraded, not as photos. The amenities and furniture were not good. The ship also docked too close to a party boat which was noisy until late night. Not recommend!

The landscape was captivating. Luckily the areas we visited were not very crowded. Floating village was nice to see. The cave, tai chi, cooking class were interesting too. The crew on Lily Cruise was polite and accommodating. Thank you Gin and Liana.
