“Great time on the 007. Dubrovnik is a beautiful place. The crew was nice and informed especially the deck hand. Boat was a smooth ride and clean. Took us to a great seaside lunch. Only complaint was we asked to tour islands and walk around and was told there wasn’t much to do or see once we were onboard so it was quite a boring itinerary that we’d expected. For the $$$ we paid it did not live up to the hype.”
