“Un équipage très sympathique, accueillant, attentionné, faisant en sorte que personne ne se sente mal, soit à cause du soleil, soit par le mal de mer, personnel qui sait mettre l’ambiance après avoir mis un peu de musique et qui n’hésite pas à faire danser les dames. Bref, un moment passé très sympathique avec des gens qui ne l’était pas moins”

“Très beau moment à bord ! Équipage au top, accueillant et chaleureux. Les grottes étaient magnifiques et l’expérience en mer vraiment agréable. Cerise sur le gâteau : nous avons pu nous jeter à l’eau pendant 10 minutes pour profiter pleinement de l’endroit. Un souvenir inoubliable !”
