The meal sorry but a fish or meat dish is not considered a meal Open bar water or lice tea !!!! A pitcher of wine placed on our table without explanation, even if it's unlimited, is not a tasting at all. Otherwise, the crew did their best to make our time on board a pleasant one, with, in my opinion, few resources at their disposal. Still, it's worth taking this cruise.

Duje was fantastic! Such a lovely and considerate person. The trip was very relaxing and we really enjoyed the caves and ending at the beach. Directions of where to meet and more information well before the tour is recommended the instructions on the tickets is confusing and does not provide the exact location as a tourist. Thank you Duje for a very memorable day!
