5.0010/10! We had a blast on the Catamaran Cruise to Anguilla. The captain and his crew were helpful, fun and full of good vibes! They took us to Prickly Pear to do some snorkeling, and then Mead’s Bay for another amazing swim stop. They fed us snacks and we had a full Caribbean meal, buffet style. Plus the open bar was a nice touch.
Great crew, they made...
