Overall it is more or less comparable to the price, you may choose a better cruise ship if you have the budget.

The itinerary is jam-packed to keep you moving, and the ship is a decent size to keep numbers low. You get to see a great deal of the bay's natural beauty, interact with the locals, sample their cuisine, and still find time for leisurely sunbathing. The staff is welcoming and helpful, the cuisine is… Read More
