“We werden ruim op tijd opgehaald. Aankomst op de boot met een glaasje champagne en vervolgens onderweg non-stop drankjes naar keuze. Het eten was prima, de plekken voor het zwemmen waren heerlijk. Er was een fotograaf aan boord en de crew is enorm gastvrij en vriendelijk. Een groot pluspunt voor ons was dat het adult-only was.”
