Customer review from Liveaboard.com
“Fantastic experience! This was my first live board dive trip, and I have to say that it far exceeded my expectations. The boat and the rooms were really nice, the beds were comfortable, and the dive equipment was in excellent condition. The staff was amazing in every way: from the delicious food and extra preparation to meet everyone’s dietary concerns to the cleanliness of the boat to the exceptional dive staff, guides and briefings, everything was top-notch. I didn’t quite understand the timing for pulling up anchor to get to the next location at ungodly hours, but the few hours of lost sleep was made up for by the incredible diversity of marine life that we saw on the dives. We were lucky to have such an amiable group of travelers and everyone seemed to get along pretty well. Small nitpick was that there could have been better communication from LiveAboard about all the extra taxes we had to pay and the AC in our cabin was dripping water all night, but it wasn’t a deal breaker. Big thanks to everyone on the Princess Sara crew for looking out for our safety, providing the extra island excursions and all their hard work to make the trip run as smoothly as possible!”
