looks promising, can't wait for the report.

I'm also curious to see a review of the Paradise Dancer, but it hasn't been running long yet.

If you are looking for Luxury and diving there are some incredible hotels in Phuket Thailand where you can catch day boats. If you really want to dive, dive, dive, we love the Philkade live-aboard, out of Phuket. Get the master cabin. Trip report: We love Thailand!
