      We sailed on Sept 7th. All the staff were phenomenal at ensuring all guest needs were met and everyone was comfortable with their snorkel/dove experience. The gear was in fantastic condition. The food was better than many restaurants we experienced in the area, thank you chef! Cannot recommend this enough.
