Customer review from Liveaboard.com

Faultless, perfect, amazing, a dream come true! Fantastic service and outstanding diving. Usually, when I write reviews, I am critical and do not accept mediocracy. Staying on Dewi Nusantara was just perfect. The crew was outstanding. It felt like nothing was too much for them. Everything was incredibly well organised, from room service, to meals to having a hot towel and massage after each dive. The food was 5 star, all made to order, the chefs were super flexible and catered for everyone's needs. The cruise director and captain also was fantastic. They had everything under control, at all times (at least it felt that way) They were flexible and changed course depending on other boats being in the area or tides and current. The diving was great. It goes without saying that Raja Ampat is top, diving with Dewi Nusantara crew made it even more special. ... and the boat ... its just WOW”
