Guide was more interested in training new crew than talking to guests. No information shared unless asked a specific question. So made for a long hot ride out to the site where we shrimped. Learned more about where she lived, other crew lived, what they could do for entertainment etc. Went on the old tour several times and it was our favorite thing to do on the island. This was far from that and very disappointing. Felt like we should have gotten a discount for being on a training cruise. 😞

After reading the reviews on TA I was really looking forward to this trip with my family as we had never done anything like this before and I was interested in learning more about shrimping. Unfortunately Lauren was not our first mate and so the stories and information that previous reviews had shared were not forthcoming. Our first mate was not very engaging, he did state that he was relatively new the role and had learnt a lot but did not share any of his experiences - I just think he could have taken some tips from other deck hands which could have made our trip a little more interesting.
