Comments Good, lovely trip and great people on the boat. Our cruise was a Live Aboard Adventures buy out and we were outsiders to the group as were several other passengers. Jen planned a great trip and we enjoyed meeting her followers. The Damai Duo crew really live the "signature service" moto and they were excellent.

The diving was fun with the kids in Alor. Very nice diving but not an amazing as Raja Ampat.

There were two bad things. A minor point was booking this trip specifically to see Komba and Komba decided to stop erupting this year. The other point was that we had room 5 which is a beautiful spacious room and it was too noisy for my husband. He was ok the nights that we were anchored but slept upstairs on the top deck under the stars when the boat moved. Room 5 is close to the engine room and gets noise and vibration. I researched this before hand as best I could and emailed Damai. I was told that the boat had a recent dry doc with adjustments that should make the room quieter and that they don't get complaints about the room. This is my inspiration for the review. People should know before they go.
