“Viator/TripAdvisor told me that my concerns would be passed along to the company and I was waiting to write my review until I heard from someone, but no one has contacted me. It's just really important as we women are dressed in swimsuits with a lot of bare skin, that the male crew shouldn't be coming up and touching us unwantedly. I told the crew member twice "no, no," when he began patting and rubbing my bare back, and it wasn't until I felt forced to actually say, "I don't want your hands on me," that he stopped.

Nature happens and the original ship was destroyed by the recent cyclones. So, those leaving poor reviews because they didn't get to experience the Coongoola need have a little more compassion!”
