I was very pleased with everything that happened from the time we boarded Yolita until our final disembarkation. Our trip leader was great, but equally important, the entire crew/staff was great. Everyone was competent at their jobs; they were friendly; and they seemed to be genuinely concerned about our safety, comfort and contentment.
