This adults-only cruise can feel relaxed or turn into a lively party, depending on the crowd and weather.

“First of all Viator was not my booking method of preference; however, my clients were unable to book directly through Island Routes so here we are. All 19 booked but not all 19 had Viator accounts, when directed to set up an account to finish their booking they were redirected to Viator's mobile account and therefore removed from my Travel Agent Link so out of 19 bookings my agency was only credited with 10 and they refuse to acknowledge the other 9 even though I have given them all names, booking numbers and we were all picked up from the same location at the same time on the same date…”

We boarded the catamaran quickly and they took us to a great spot for snorkelling - lots of coral and fish and the water was so blue. On the way to the snorkelling site we were provided with endless drinks and a nice buffet which had chicken and fruit etc. Once we finished the snorkelling we were taken to the famous Margaritaville, we enjoyed it here and they had great frozen margaritas. The highlight was definitely the way back, the DJ was FANTASTIC, there was lots of…”
