Customer review from Liveaboard.com
“Ringing in the New Years properly! Great 8 days aboard Emperor Elite. From start to finish the team was incredibly hospitable and supportive. Due to delays I missed my connection flight and Emperor worked with me to arrange a transfer at 3:30am and still get me on the boat before departure. Each day the diving, food, and housekeeping was on point and everyone was friendly. Perhaps due to world affairs at the moment, the route, etc, the SS Thistlegorm and other sites were never more than 4 boats. We were lucky in having an incredible encounter with a pod of 15 dolphins. Lots of marine life and beautiful hard and soft coral. I’ll be keeping eye out on other itineraries for this boat.”
