1.00Massive cruise ship for 500 people that somehow still did not have enough seating for everyone. Also the first floor smelled like gasoline while outside there were smokers everywhere. The lunch was cold and mediocre and they try and upsell you on packages and excursions at least 5 times.
Unless you just like to spend money to just walk

1.00DO NOT BOOK THIS CRUISE!!!!! It is a complete waste of your day. Poor advisement, poor management, poor customer service. It advised water activities yet your not able to do it. They charge you for the boat ride only when you get on you start paying for everything. They charge for food, drinks and to site seeing. Lunch is included but mind you the tour is almost 12 hours long and lunch is serve in the morning. The lunch is cold so there's that they are not very accomading. However if you want to sail for money then go ahead I would recommend skipping the excursion and doing it yourself but you've been warned.

3.00Tour was a long time on the boat and not a lot of time on each island. All was fine until it was time to return to our hotel. We were told by the tour guide that they would drop us off two blocks from our hotel. That two blocks was actually 8 blocks long up hill in the dark on crooked sidewalks. I’m 80 years old and that was a terrible way to end our day.
Long time on a big boat

3.00Firstly if you are not an on time person you may need to rethink doing this trip. Our coach arrived to our pick up location about 15 minutes early and I’m sure that if we hadn’t been waiting the bus would’ve left without us. Next, if you are looking for a small, intimate experience then this is not for you. The boat is quite large and crowded. While there is enough space for everyone, the outside decks are very busy. Food and drinks are available on board at reasonable prices, and the crew are very friendly and polite. The included lunch is buffet style and we were disappointed with the food. The 3 islands visited are beautiful but due to timing you really only get a taste of each. Most of the day is spent on the boat. Would I do this trip again? No Would I recommend to others? Probably not.
