Boat design. Passenger bunks were below deck with only a narrow staircase to exit through. Crew quarters were on deck level.
“Passenger bunks were below deck with only a narrow staircase to exit through.”
Yes, it’s a BOAT.
My wife and I have been sick about this since we heard the news on the way home last night.
We have been on The Conception, 7 years ago. Best trip I ever had. Crew was awesome. Everyone acted as if we were honored guests. Captain on down, they were the best.
I have also been on the Vision, run by the same company,3 years ago. The crew attitudes could not have been more different. They seemed to have contempt for the paying guests, as well as being pretty damned lax about safety. They overfilled my scuba tanks by 500 psi, then told me they did it all the time. Federal regs about it not withstanding.
It seemed like the crew were on a cruise and we were in the way of their having a good time.
See my tripadvisor posting on the Vision trip. I am not hard to please.
I don’t recall a safety briefing on the Vision trip, other than lifejacket locations.
Somebody’s getting sued, and probably going to jail.
