Review summary

I enjoyed this cruise and would do it again. The seas were very calm. This time of year, October 14 - October 22 there were almost no children. The ports of call were fun and the water in the caribbean is beautiful

The adult yacht snorkel was everything. Fun, beautiful reef. The crew was so much fun. Open bar, dancing and an amazing hot meal. I would rinse, lather and repeat this one!

The waterfalls was a can't miss adventure. I almost didn't make the climb but the guides helped me by carrying my vest and helmet and encouraged me all the way up. The down was fantastic!
