The food, drinks and entertainment were excellent & while there was slight detour on the sailing (we couldn’t sail out to the Atlantis) because of choppy water, it was still very enjoyable and the service from the staff on board was excellent. As the evening progressed it got chilly & blankets were provided to keep warm while still being able to enjoy the sights. It was a lovely relaxing evening and we would highly recommend this trip.”
