    The destinations were really beautiful, all the islands had great beaches. We always left on time and were back in Palau at the specified time. The food on the ship was sub-par! Five euros for a bun from the bag that tasted like rubber and 10 euros for tomato mozzarella in the plastic box. So be sure to bring something to eat! There are no shops on the islands!

    All was OK except when crossing to Isola Santa Maria when all of us on the foredeck were soaked by waves carried by crosswinds. One guest fell over and rolled across the deck, dangerously. The captain must have known what would happen in this wind but no prior warning was made to clear the deck. Irresponsible and reckless.

    A full day trip to 4 locations, not including lunch (you can buy on board for 7 euros). The boat was really big so there were a lot of people, too many perhaps...La maddalena island itself is not so exciting but we had to stop there for 1 hour to pick up other people, and then we didn't get enough time at the Spargi beach and too much time at a less pretty one... Also it wasn't clear if we had to bring our own snorkeling equipment or not, so we didn't bring and we should have because they didn't provide it. The crew was great and Elena was informative.
