The rooms were quite small with bunk beds; the lower deck rooms near the back smelled like gas fumes (chokingly so) but we managed to switch to a front room part way through; for claustrophic people, i would recommend the top cabins as they have windows and are a bit bigger.  There was no hot water on the boat - just cold showers to wash the salt away after snorkeling...  The crew were all quite nice and really accomodating.  Luis, our guide, was absolutely amazing.  He spoke quite good English and had a great knowledge of the area.  Jose was our cook and the meals were great.  Lots of variety and special requests were accomodated; there was plenty of fresh water for drinking and hot water was always available for tea, coffee and hot chocolate.  The boat seemed top heavy so it rocked A LOT even when the water did not look that rough; not a lot of space to stretch out or move around, things were pretty cramped; it was nice having just one table for everyone to eat at as it encouraged discussion amongst all.  Overall we had a great time and got to know everyone on the boat quite well.
