The tasting menu was great and they were very accommodating to my dad's severe food allergies, even calling the day before to go over them and confirm they had it all correct. There are multiple bathrooms on board that are accessible at all times. We spent most of our time up front in the trampoline laying on the bean bags, enjoying the scenery. Best part was seeing whales! We saw several whales and the captain took us…”
