Not sure what to say as we hit Mauritius just as CV19 did and despite being told otherwise by our Captain, we were unable to dock twice We just managed to communicate with Ridwaan and he adjusted his plans so that if we were able to dock two days later than planned, he would be there to meet us, which was very much appreciated. Unfortunately, by this time, Mauritius had closed their borders to all ships. We let Ridwaan know and even though we did not ask, he organised a full refund for us. Therefore, should we be allowed to travel ever again and eventually get to Mauritius, we will definitely use his service. Great service although not the one we were expecting.
