Antoni's tip: your Cartagena insider

Merengue is the one I point multi-generational families to. It doesn't try to be a party boat, and that's exactly the point. Grandparents get a comfortable place to sit, kids have room to move, and the pace of the day can stay relaxed if that's what your group wants. It's also a solid pick if half your group wants to swim and snorkel while the other half is happy just relaxing onboard.
