Nice trip along a very scenic coast. We even made a detour to see some dolphins. But don't expext a great narrative.
Cold is not the best time

Although it’s not the turf’s fault, the weather was terrible. Plus you were not allowed to go in the caves because of the condition so it was a bit disappointed.

This trip had negative and positive aspects: The positives: the fun on board, the personalized attention of the waiters and staff in general, direct descents in port (without boat), and, above all, the excellent food, The negative: how can they overlook advertising every afternoon at naptime? It's a very bad marketing resource. Another inexplicable thing is that with the MyDrinks package you can only buy 7 bottles of mineral water during the trip. Another negative point is the excursions: boring, with guides reciting stories about architecture that no one hears, with free time on excursions in unusual places that directed us to very expensive restaurants, probably in combination with the guides. Negative was never finding a free place in the pools, with posers always "reserved" with a towel even though it is prohibited. It denies the quality of the drinks of the MyDrinks package, which is not cheap. It also refuses the liquidation of perfume watches etc, of second or third quality. And finally: very few staff speak Spanish. Only 5 staff members were Argentine. The rest, Brazilian or Asian. My suggestion: do the cruise, but then don't say I didn't warn you

We went to the Costa Fascinosa for the Mediterranean, and it was disappointing. It was cold all over the ship that several passengers got sick. All focused on the Italian customer, nothing to Spanish. The excursions, horrible!!!! Don't buy them on the boat! The only good one was Athens. The food, bad, especially if you have any intolerance. When you have a problem, at the front desk you are not solved. The cleanliness left much to be desired. Little time in each destination. What was good was the treatment of almost all the staff and the great shows of the theater (although... they were in Italian!). The cabin terrazzo was also very good, although it had not been cleaned in life.
Excellent and...

Excellent and exhilarating. Actually this tour was cancelled so they offered us the caves and dolphin watching trip. We wouldn't have opted for that, but it was an amazing experience.
Great afternoon on the water!

We totally enjoyed our coast and caves tour of the Algarve with Hugo, Tomas, and Dario! The crew was professional and personable. The ride was smooth and comfortable and the view of the coastline was beautiful. The conditions in the sea were suitable for the catamaran to enter the Benegil cave. Truly an excellent afternoon on the water.

Had a fantastic experience! The staff were very friendly and taught us a lot about the coastline. The views were beautiful and the benagil cave was awesome for photos etc. we were given free drinks and blankets when it got cold. The boat itself was really nice and it was a very comfortable experience.
Nice trip if you get to sit on the side of the catamaran facihng the cliffs. Beware

The picture of the catamaran that we thought we were booking was not like the for our trip. There were seats on booth sides and a few in the front and back. We had to sit on the side of the boat that was faced toward to open sea and not toward the cliffs. - not a great situation. The return trip was no better as they did not travel close to the coast. Very disappointing,
Wonderful experience

It was a wonderful experience.. Definitely try it. The boat ride along with cave watch was nice .The boats don't take us inside the caves except the last cave in Benegil.
