Good experience
Very nice cruise. Food war very good - juices and fruits were amazing. The cruise director was very helpful, open to our wishes and always ready to help. Staff is very nice. Dive sites in Raja Ampat are incredible. It was very nice time. However, the cabins on this boat are quite small. We were only 8 persons (16 places). I think it might be a bit tight when the boat is full...
