Onboard Activities

1 out of 5

Horrible outings. Most cancelled. Huge waits at all zodiac trips. 75% of customers had zero submarine outings. Similar for kayaks. If you get ashore, extremely short time common 30 minutes. And you are not allowed to wander more than 5 feet from a 100 meter long path.
