This cruise was fantastic! The food was great! The crew were very friendly and service was impeccable. What I liked most was the spectacular view of the Humpback whale and her calf in the glass windows. The sun had not set yet and we had just got back to our table with our food and we were surprised by a whale surfacing very close to the boat. The captain stopped the boat and drifted. The whale took a breath and went down. We went over to the glass wells to see if we could see the whale. All of a sudden a huge whale and a calf appeared in the window. We watched them swim from one well to the other. It was the most spectacular thing I have ever seen. Once the whales were gone the captain started down the coast. The sunset was spectacular. They stopped the boat in front of a hotel . The underwater lights went on and we saw the reef, some small fish they said were needle fish and a huge manta ray. The manta ray circle numerous times under the windows. We got a close up look into its mouth and gills over and over again as it looped under the lights. I have to say that on a scale of 1-10 this was a 20 for me. I did not expect to see the things we saw. It was spectacular. We watched the manta ray swim under the boat for about fifteen minutes. Then we started back to the dock. The music and entertainment was wonderful. We danced a little and had a wonderful time. I was very pleased with my experience. I would do it again in a heart beat.
