We used both the indoor VIP lounge and the open decks throughout the day. Inside was great when we wanted shade and outside was perfect while approaching the islands. Being able to switch between the two made a big difference.
Hydra was still the highlight for me, but I also enjoyed the time onboard. A coffee in the lounge and a drink later at the VIP bar broke up the sailing nicely. It felt like part of the experience, not just transportation.
Lunch was served in a separate area and felt much less hectic. There was enough choice for everyone in our group. We all went back for something different.
The staff in the VIP section were attentive without hovering. Drinks were easy to get throughout the day.
Poros was shorter than I would have liked. Still, the sailing time was comfortable because we had our own lounge area. The views coming into port were excellent.
