Big favorite if you want to swim in the crystal waters, magnificent excursion I highly recommend it and if you have a baby don't be afraid the staff will take great care of your family if I return to the crest I would go on this excursion without hesitation!

No improvements! Myself and the family had the best time with Micky. it was absolutely perfect and such a fun beautiful memory for us all … thank you so much!

Fantastic,except the food,that was horrible…we were hungry in the whole trip because that menu wasn’t eatable.
