The ones where we just cruised were ok but too many passengers in the boat made photography difficult. Yes we felt safe

It was a solid safe working ship. Plain without any extras. Nice to be able to visit bridge. Officers were very helpful in explaining ship operations. Cabin was spacious but plain. Very comfortable Food was excellent throughout voyage
