No - the rooftop jacuzzi is included in the fare and is Sea Lion's signature feature; they market it as the only day cruise on Halong Bay with one. Your $49 from-port fare also covers the seafood buffet, Sung Sot Cave, Luon Cave kayaking, Titov Island and the live DJ sunset party.
The $49 base is the from-port fare - you make your own way to Tuan Chau Marina. If you'd like the round-trip transfer from Hanoi, it's $55 with the shuttle bus or $64 with a private limousine. The on-board experience is identical across all three.
Independently, the matching product sits around 4.9/5 on TripAdvisor from a few hundred reviews. The much larger '3,500+ guests / 1,247 reviews' figures come from the operator's own site, so I'd treat those as marketing rather than verified counts.
