Always greeting you with a smile. I would recommend this trip to any of my friends or family”

“The staff on the ship was very kind and helpful. They really did take care about us. They wanted us to feel happy everytime. The lunch and the dinner was way more than enough. They prepared us 6-7 different types of food with paying attention to food allergies. On the first day the Ti Top Island and the cave was very crowded because of the tourists. The second day was much better. We went to kayaking to see some caves then went to swimming. Then we visited a pearl farm with guidance. It was very interesting. On the third day we went kayaking again but it was also too crowded…”

“A fun roller coaster. Transport to the ship: good. Sailing around on the ship: great. The staff: excellent. Food: ok/good. Our cabin: nice looking, but disappointing because we paid extra to the tour booking for an upgraded cabin but the ship assigned a lower deck cabin right over the engine which had a strong smell of fuel making it hard to sleep. The second 1/2 of our tour was cancelled due to outstanding circumstances, but the booking company got us back on track with a super fun speedboat ride and slightly revised itinerary that ended up being more fun than the original! So overall we had a great time and…”
