Kind of wish the resort would bring a yacht back into the picture. We were set to do the equator excursion back in 2016... cost was $2500, but it was going to be on a yacht.
They told us it was undergoing maintenance, and I guess they ended up selling it instead of bringing it back into service. We did the journey on a speedboat (for half the cost), and that's (on the equator) where wife and I got engaged.

Repeated the journey this year, and while it's still a great value proposition, we missed being able to go onto the local island.
Also, since we had relatives aboard who did not enjoy the bumps, we went extra slow on our journey down, which extended the trip by two hours (for better or worse). "Lunch" ended up being just before sunset at the picnic island.
