Review: Spring Adventure
I usually do not review things but have to for this trip!
Overall, a wonderful adventure visiting pristine beaches and areas off the grid for larger ships. This was my first time sailing on a tall ship and it was pure joy! I plan to do this again — the feeling of being at one with the sea was omni present. If you want ports of call with shopping and western ways — not for you — if you want to get away from it all, a must go.
Great staff/crew and decent (sometimes slow but sweet) service made the cruise quite enjoyable. Food was ok but hey we are on a ship — the decor (especially the dining area) was a bit dated, but as the week wore on it bothered me less. Loved the bar and the daily special drinks. The team kept you busy with various levels of exercise including diving and snorkeling — no TV was sooooo wonderful. As a small ship, you do get to chat with others on the ship — if you are a recluse this is not the ship for you.
My favorite time of day was dawn sitting on deck with nobody around and taking in the beauty of the sky and sea.
