I can't say enough about Caitlin's attitude and service! We had our 7 year old grandson and she took him under her wing and taught him to snorkel and introduced new foods that he would otherwise not have ever tried! She totally understood our needs as a multigenerational family and planned our meals accordingly. The food was delicious! We were not looking for gourmet meals but it felt over the top special with her hand made pasta dishes and variety of meals. She even had the kids help her make pasta. Jeff was very professional and we always felt we were being cared for and in safe hands. And he is an incredible grillmaster! <br />
The yacht was extremely comfortable and well organized. <br />
We had 4 children ages 7-15 and they all had a wonderful time on their first Caribbean cruise! The parents were also able to relax thanks to Jeff and Caitlin and their attention. <br />
As an extra bonus, Caitlin's knowledge of marine biology added fun to our snorkels! We loved her energy and engaging personality!<br />
It was a fabulous week!<br />
