The crew was lovely, Ellody especially, the cruise was very interesting and informative. If you do take this cruise, stay on the upper deck. You are less likely to get angry soaked by seafood...
The crew was lovely, Ellody especially, the cruise was very interesting and informative. If you do take this cruise, stay on the upper deck. You are less likely to get angry soaked by seafood users! Had a wet walk and ride back to the hotel, but everything else was enjoyable!
