Reviews of tourists
Marina, Krasnodar:
Perfect organization of the cruise. In a few days, we visited several Caribbean countries and got a lot of pleasant impressions. What could be better than meeting new lands at dawn and getting an idea of the local customs and culture of the population. When walking through the districts of Puerto Rica, keep an eye on your belongings.
Alexander, Moscow
The whole friendly family went on an eight-day tour of the Mediterranean this summer. I liked everything very much. Great liner management. The ship called at Naples, Marseille and Barcelona. We had plenty of time for walking and sightseeing. It was possible to book excursions, but we decided to wander on our own. The main thing is to pay attention to the time, because the liner does not wait for latecomers.
Anastasia, Volgograd
My husband and I have long dreamed of visiting the tropical islands of the Caribbean. We decided to purchase a cruise trip for 8 days. The pleasure is certainly not cheap, which is only a flight to Miami. But the voyage justifies all the costs. The heavenly bliss received from visiting Haiti, Jamaica and the Bahamas will be remembered for a lifetime. The rich program was literally exhausting us. We wanted to have time for everything: to visit the beach, and go for a walk in the tropics, and swim with scuba diving, and see the sights.
