We had a MAGICAL week at Azulia II. Dan is extremely accomodating and also a great Captain. He plays the guitar and sings very well. He took us to St. Croix and the snorkeling was awesome! Sarah spoiled us so much!! Starting with the cake and decorations for my birthday which was on our arrival day... as well as the nice presentation of the dining table every single evening. The flavor of her food was amazing. She is a great CHEF!! If we can give them 10 stars we will. They are spectacular!! We miss them!!
