The most memorable part was able to ride to several different places (different landscapes and villages), in beautiful Croatia and meeting other travelers.
We gave a 3 star review (more likely 3.5) due to the following reasons/observations/experiences during the trip.
a) We were originally scheduled to travel on the ship Yolo and while we were given a discount to participate in the adventure on another boat, we feel that the boat the Pacific was definitely a downgrade and not worth the partial discount. We were assigned to cabin #12, which sits just above the engine room and adjacent to the boat's generator. We expressed our concerns during initial boarding but we were told that all the cabins were taken therefore, sleeping was simply impossible when either the engine or generator were running (which was most of the time). We could not take naps before dinner in our room and of course, sleeping during the night was a challenge. Perhaps cabin #12 should Read More not be allotted to a paying customer.
b) Another issue with cabin #12 was the smell coming off the bathroom. The smell showed up when the boat was in port and it was being serviced. We do not exactly know what caused the smell but we shared our concerns to a boat member. I believe cabin #13 adjacent to cabin #12 was also having the same issues. The name under cabin #13 is John Campbell who was the leader of our group.
c) Group size of 36 people plus 2 guides was not only dangerous but challenging due to the fact that several individuals have never used an e-bike and did not have a lot of knowledge about biking. We could tell our guides were concerned while trying to keep everyone safe.
Finally, the room compromised our enjoyment of the trip but we were glad to be able to return to Croatia, a place where we got engaged over 15 years ago.
On the positive side:
a) The guides and the boat crew were amazing, especially during difficult situations.
b) The chef was outstanding! He was only 19 years old but very good and very gracious!
c) The diversity of villages and landscapes was stunning!
d) The opportunity by the crew to allow us to swim of the boat on various occasions was greatly appreciated.
Overall we had fun other than not sleeping but we will forever cherish our memories in Croatia!
