It is VERY rocky so beware if you forgot your dramamine! Otherwise staff is fantastic and food is great. I had vegan and loved it. The history is interesting and the live music is great. We got to watch the sun set too. A nice time on the ocean!

The staff and service was top notch. They made sure you were taken care of. The dinner was actually pretty good. Views were also beautiful. I was just a little bored at times and the waters were a bit choppy so it wasn't as enjoyable. Not their fault of course. I'd say if you're looking for a more lively cruise this isn't for you... for some history.. the purpose is served!!

Crew was great. The food was good as well. We were able to see some spinner dolphins and one baby in the group! The history about the island was very informative.
