Overall Rating

Don't leave home without some type of seasickness medications. No side to
side motion but lots of forward and back. Though not bad considering the
conditions of the seas. Service by the crew was outstanding!! Food was
great(good job Goose); dieters beware. Breakfast, mid-morning cookies,
lunch, mid-afternoon snack, dinner, and evening popcorn. Cabins were good.
If you want a bigger cabin see NCL or Carnival. Hot towels, several camera
rinse tanks, wetsuit rinse tank, hot shower, and mask dip bucket for
diving. This was the Cay Lobos trip. Long ... travel times. This cut down
on the amount of diving. Some of the sites were pretty beat up from the
hurricanes but seemed to be rebounding. Spent too much time on some sites,
not enough on others. Large creatures were few and far between. Underwater
beacon was weak. Fine on the first nite dive, weaker on the second,
non-existent on the third (I was right below it).  I would definitely dive
with Nekton again, but maybe not this route.
