  • REVIEWS
    There were only one or two relatively small
    complaints:

    1. The snorkel masks are now free to those on board, however they only have 12 or so and we were 16 so some had to go without gear in the snorkel sites.  The general complaint was that we'd already paid enough money to get on the boat without having to pay more to rent out snorkling  gear. 

    2. Same went for the wetsuits, there wern't enough, and halfway through the captain said he'd been told to start charging people for them.

    3. Some people (the more fussy ones in my opinion) complained of repetition in the meals, for example every day there was one fish dish be it grilled or in a soup. Some people didn't like this. I don't really agree with this as they listened well to people relative needs (we had lactose intolerate people, jewish people with kosher requirements, vegetarians, we had everything and the crew did well to help all those people).

    If you are in contact with the company running the boat just if you could let them know the biggest complaint and annoyance was the lack of gear on board. We left ours at home with the assumption we'd find gear on board, we wouldn't have if we knew the full situation.

    Thanks again for all your help over the last few months. Hope all is going well
    regards
    Sophie B.
