Accomodations as always on a liveaboard, were tight, but not
claustrophobic.  Not as many large animals as we expected, but of course
that can vary from trip to trip.  Rorqual was steady considering the seas
(4-6 feet) that we were in, but there definitely is rock and roll as in any
other small (less than 100 feet length) vessel.  As far as we know, there
was only one passenger who got even queasy the whole time.  Neither of us
used any antiseasick medications or bands nor did we need them.  The
shining star of the whole voyage was the crew...there was not anything that
was not provided.  The Captain made it clear before we left the pier that
if anything was wrong or needed, we should tell the crew so that they could
address/correct it.  This policy was the truth.  The crew was great and we
are already planning our next trip.
