Children policy
We had an excellent time on our 1-night cruise on the Peony. The ship is very comfortable, food was great and the staff - extremely friendly (especially Ken the cruise manager).
Some of the activities were fun (kayaking and sunrise tai chi), some were lame (if you’ve ever been to a stalactite cave - you can skip this morning tour), but we will happily do any lame activity with such a background scenery.
Just spending time on the deck watching the islands was the best activity - we couldn’t get enough of it.
