Hello Marlene, Thank you for sharing your review with us. I am delighted to hear you had such a wonderful time out on this cruise. How neat to have your captain named after a famous pirate! I am so glad to hear that he was so informative and added to the experience as a whole. We can't wait to get you out on another smooth sail soon! Best, Brooke
