Take the slow boat
I was strongly advised by numerous people NOT to take a speed boat from Hua Xai to Luang Probang on the grounds of safety. I took the slow boat (2 days and one night) had a great time, met lots of good people and was able to take in all the scenery along the Mekong, have a  etc.....
Whilst in LP i heard the day, that a speed boat hit a rock and the passengers spent the night in the jungle untill the next days slow boat picked them up. Take the advice of everyone else posting here.......
enjoy
