Overall pretty good. However, crew could communicate a bit better as they didn’t greet everyone and let us know the itinerary. Was pretty disappointed with one swimming stop when it’s advertised that there are “swimming stops”. However, the swimming stop is in a beautiful location. Lunch was a simple Greek salad with bread and olive oil. Music was just a Phil Collins greatest hits album, which was rather strange!

We had a lovely trip on board Captain Hook recently! Boarded the ship and it took 1.5 hours to reach our swimming destination - get there early if you want to secure your seat of choice. The swimming location was stunning with lots of caves to explore - be warned that the tides around the rocks are strong and the water is deep but they have life jackets on board for children/less confident swimmers. The captain was friendly and entertaining. BEWARE: most people were fine but I felt extremely sea sick, take a sickness pill if you have any doubts/experience travel sickness as a precaution. The lunch on offer was mediocre but enjoyed none the less. Thank you to the crew it was a stunning stop!

Great experience, staff nice and professional, the swimming stop was amazing, beautiful landscape, the time was enough to swim. the only thing that could be better to somehow avoid that before the boarding when waiting in the line to stand a long time directly under the sun. Except that everything was perfect, money well spent
