“We were at the pier, at the time they told us, and had to wait 1 hour before the ship left. (It was not even at the pier when we arrived) Snorkeling was in a large group and there was a very annoying guide, who always called „hello hello“ as soon as you were swimming a bit further - super annoying. Nice boat, good value for Money.”
