We've been wanting to do this for so long!!! Just for us the airfare to where they pull out of stopps us each time. It getts to be a lot more expensive then a ship out of a home port here in Texas. BUT we LOVE scuba diving and snorkeling and this is suppose to be great for that - secluded beaches and great diving /snorkeling. Small out of the way places large ships can't get too. A lot less people and you can lay on deck and watch the stars or watch dolphins off the bow. You'll have an awesome time - enjoy!!! Debbie
