Service

BestPrice's rating: 9.6

The service is an incredible point that makes passengers' stay perfect.

Throughout the trip, we were served and supported by the restaurant's enthusiastic and well-trained staff, bringing us the most satisfaction in each activity. Especially a sailor gave us the best enjoyment when we did sliding into the sea from the cruise, despite being a bit scary.

Also, we gained more knowledge about Dark and Bright caves and the floating lifestyle of fishers through the story of staff on the tender to the floating village.

Foods and beverages
