This was a great cruise -...
Kate_T, September 2026
This was a great cruise - the sunset from the boat alone was worth it. The snorkeling wasn’t anything special but we did see several large sea turtles and dolphins! The homemade food was great and open bar is always a perk. Crew was friendly and helpful too.

Michelle_H, August 2026
It was okay. Boat ride was nice. Crew could have been more engaging. When we arrived at the snorkeling spot, they weren't helpful with mask fittings or assistance or any kind. Sunset was rhe highlight.
