Hanoi 3 days then Ha Long Bay, too rushed or ok?

We land in Hanoi on the evening of October 20th and I have us down for 3 full days there before a 2 day / 1 night Ha Long Bay cruise, then back to Hanoi for one last night before flying home.

My husband thinks 3 days in Hanoi is too much and wants to steal one for a Ninh Binh day trip instead. I have never been to Vietnam before so I honestly cannot tell if he is right.

For people who have done this route, would you keep the 3 days in Hanoi or cut one?
