"this is the only live aboard we have been on where we were actually shown where our lifejackets are AND had a proper "muster drill" where we had to each get our lifejackets and go to the area where we would go in an actual emergency with our lifejackets. Never felt anything but safe on this trip." Ann Mecklem, Palau Siren 2012
