Summary:
We done the tour on the main deck with window seats. The only downside were the massive blowflies on the boat, that's it. The cruise itself, crew and food were really good. We were lucky enough to have Kiah doing our sarah island tour and she was magnificent. Overall 10/10

Summary:
From the moment you got on the ship, Andy on the upper deck was very friendly and attentive, helping with every request.
The tour, although we had rain on and off was great. Very educational and not rushed. The food!! Oh the food! It was delicious and generous plus having brought the premium upper deck ticket, allowed you to eat as much as you could fit and drink the same.
Would highly recommend 🤗
