Comments	Beautiful boat, The Paradise Sport. We were the last trip for this gorgeous boat due to financial and legal reasons. We, however had a tiny cabin in the bow and were pretty cramped. The staff and crew were very good. The food was excellent, mud crabs, and lobster were apologized for after being served for the third time due to a beef shortage! Unbelievable coral and fishes. A veritable Imax movie come to life. I only whish I never had to come to the surface for another tank 11 days of Bliss!
