The Moon 60 was luxurious, well-appointed, and very quiet. The staff was exceptional, taking care of every detail for us throughout the trip. Lian and DMA paid attention to every detail from beginning to end, including calling the captain before we arrived and checking on us while on the trip. Even the captain mentioned to us that this type of care is unusual.
