Customer reviews
Anna was amazing and replied very quickly after I contacted. She is super nice.
The cruise was fun. The service is top-notch. The staff was so nice to us. I may book it again in the future.
Anna from BestPrice Travel is excellent. She answers all of my inquiries and chooses this cruise for me. She always replied quickly. I'll book with her again.
I'm super satisfied with this cruise. All good, nice staff, good meal, fun activities.
You should avoid traveling in the weekend as there were many tourists at that time.
Very nice tour. Anna was quick to respond and answer all of my questions. Thank you.
Everything is fine. We were at Paradise Sails for 2 days. The conditions of the rooms are wonderful, the staff is impeccable. There is nothing bad to point out except for the crowded bay. I get it was famous so it was understandable.
We highly recommend this cruise because there are fewer travelers and the food is amazing. In our opinion, it was very good for a 4-star cruise.
