Is everything too much to ask??Yes, we were on it over new year. What would you like to know?
I would also greatly appreciate any information that could be provided. I am seriously considering this boat, too, since it appears to be one of the (very) few that has a ladder on its RIBs.Is everything too much to ask??
How happy were you with the boat, cabin, staff and safety?
What did you like the most? And the least?
And finally, not boat or operator related, which route?
TIA
Hello to you both.I would also greatly appreciate any information that could be provided. I am seriously considering this boat, too, since it appears to be one of the (very) few that has a ladder on its RIBs.
Some boats do it this way, so you can favour the hard workes over the top dogs .At the end of the trip we were surprised when we were asked to tip the captain and dive guides separately (one envelope) and the crew (in a different envelope). We hadn't encountered this on a liveaboard before, but more experienced divers might be able to say if this is common practice or not.
Oh, thanks for clarifying that. To be honest, this was not made clear to us at the time but nobody made a fuss (you tend not to in such situations) and we just tipped as generously as we could, as we'd been looked after very well.Some boats do it this way, so you can favour the hard workes over the top dogs .
The crew and dive guides (2 guides for 9 divers!) were a solid team and you could tell they'd been working together for some time. I thought the food was good to very good, but we've had better on less upscale Red Sea boat
