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. |
