“On photos they make it look not so crowded when in reality there’s just too much people. Strict separation between “normal” and “vip” tickets, vip step on board first, receive food also first, but what’s the point of it. VIP beds doesn’t have sunroof, so in some cases it might be worse then sit in the middle (and middle is taken by normies). Excursion itself is just whales, dolphins watching with food, drinks and swimming. You can find less crowded and cheaper options for same experience. Also it was very slippery onboard.”
