    Dear Chloe, Thank you for taking the time to provide your feedback on your recent Signature Cruise Halong 3 Days 2 Nights tour. We appreciate your kind words about the spacious and comfortable cabins, and the efficient air conditioning and hot water in the showers. However, we are sorry to hear that you found the itinerary disappointing and the trip on the day boat badly organised. We take these concerns seriously and will work to improve the organisation and communication on the day boat to ensure our guests have an enjoyable and informative experience. We are pleased to hear that you enjoyed the food, but we apologize for the repetitive options and the timing of meals that did not meet your expectations. We understand that our guests have different preferences and we will consider adding more variety and options to our menus in the future. We appreciate your feedback regarding the language skills of our staff. While we do our best to ensure our staff has a good command of English, we understand that there is always room for improvement, and we will work on this aspect to ensure that our guests have a better experience. Thank you for your recommendation, and we are sorry to hear that you would not recommend Starlight to others. We hope you will consider giving us another chance to provide you with a better experience in the future. Thank you again for your valuable feedback. Best regards, Tony Bui/ Legend Travel Group.
