“Cannot recommend this cruise. Nice boat, lovely destinations…angry captain! He was on his phone the first 20 minutes of the trip and never introduced himself or where he was taking us. When we started to ask questions, all his answers were negative—that his rules were not to be broken, that he knew better than we do, that he was missing water toys because other people were breaking them, and towards the end was harrranguing innocent mistakes of well meaning people. Such a shame (Food was grocery store pizza. Captain wouldn’t give out bottles of water until it was “time”!!)”
