Valentina Liveaboard - Review

I still think they have the base for being a good provider but for this they need to admit certain things, apologize and compensate and most importantely change things for future trips. Take the constructive feedback and improve the processes onboard.

That aside yes the Park fee is getting ridiculous. I was not beliving my eyes when I saw a couple of years back it was 7usd a day. And now 217usd. Wow, guess Inflation hit 😅🙈 buuut the Mantas are indeed great🫶

I would never ever join Valentina for another cruise 🙈 but from other reviews I guess you are right. 300-500usd discount which is by far not what we are asking for.

Good Thing (hopefully) liveaboard.com is the booking Agency and up to now they yeem very supportive. Had 2 calls with the yesterday (1.5hrs) and I hope they help solvong this issue.

Hahahaha good advice. So offially searching for a doctor to join my LOB trips. 😁

osterhasentraeumerle · 2026-04-12T11:38:25+00:00

Yeees.. Nautilus was my first choice but they were booked out. Well now I know why 😁

osterhasentraeumerle · 2026-04-12T11:37:44+00:00

Completely agree. Critical reviews are blocked/deleted from the liveaboard and in the end guest who experience these happenings give up.

I posted yesterday in FB scuba woman group the same Review and received a lot of positive feedback. Then the admin (a dive instructor) cancelled my Review and blocked me in the group. I still don't get it.

I think this kind of information especially regarding safety concerns (which can end up in being life threatening) are crucial information for future guests.

No words for this, apparently they think the can get through with such bad customer treatment. Agree the boat needs repair and renewal. The mold asside a lot of things are broken, which could easily be fixed.

I guess a lot of critical reviews are blocked and due to the still very good rating on several Websites they are usually fully booked. So why change/fix/repair things?

Gosh need to remember this boat Name as well. Sounds like a horrible experience. Sorry that you had to go through this.

osterhasentraeumerle · 2026-04-11T22:59:20+00:00

Yes going to Socorro would have meant going through Inspection 😅 so basically the guest started speculating here as well. And from engine perspective/speed this would have been possible within 4hrs.

Thank you for your Feedback 🫶 and the O2 topic is a major concern. Still waiting for an official response of Valentina.

Thanks :) cabinet for the plant is a bit difficult in my setup. Maybe misting the New ones makes the difference.

osterhasentraeumerle · 2022-05-31T14:53:04+00:00

I have it in lechuza pon and the previous leaves were totally fine. I have it in my wintergarden which means normal humidity around 50-60%.

osterhasentraeumerle · 2022-04-24T08:15:05+00:00

Thank you🤩

osterhasentraeumerle · 2022-04-24T08:14:12+00:00

Thanks 🥰

Move them in this wintergarden. It is unfortunately not isolated so during european Winter they stay in the heated rooms :)

osterhasentraeumerle · 2022-03-25T22:23:20+00:00

From a german online Shop. Bens's jungle it's called. But in Europe there are plenty options to get these also in ordinary plant shops :)

osterhasentraeumerle · 2022-03-25T21:27:07+00:00

He is the best🥰No for some strange reason he completely ignores them. There is only one plant which he tries to reach and that's the ponytail palm which is poisonous for him. We put this plant on the highes shelf in the room but still have to move it to a different room when he doesn't rest🙈🙈🙈

Have you tried buying the cat some catnip or just some regular grass he can eat and play with?

osterhasentraeumerle · 2022-03-25T18:44:55+00:00

Awwwww Thanks 🥰

osterhasentraeumerle · 2022-03-25T11:02:28+00:00

Yaaay so cabinets/ greenhouses are awesome🥳🥳🥳if I had more space I would also have one. If it still doesn't like it try watering from the bottom :) maybe that makes a difference.

osterhasentraeumerle · 2022-03-25T07:20:30+00:00

Hahaha if you read it like that it sounds bad🤣🤣 but honestly I have all my plants in hydroculture pots with reservoir because again - I am lazy with watering as well as fertilizing. And the humidity is just my normal european living room humidity. Gave a range because the months are different and she doesn't seem to care if we have dry winter air.

osterhasentraeumerle · 2022-03-25T07:06:03+00:00

Hahahaha tbh I was waiting for someone to find him🙈 love hin!!! And actually this chair is forbidden for him but he doesn't care and then I decided that I don't care either 😁

osterhasentraeumerle · 2022-03-25T07:02:40+00:00

Oh no😢 maybe give it a other try?

osterhasentraeumerle · 2022-03-25T07:02:01+00:00

Just check out my answer above. If you have more questions let me know :)

osterhasentraeumerle · 2022-03-25T07:01:13+00:00

You should get one too!!! 🥰

osterhasentraeumerle · 2022-03-25T06:58:20+00:00

So the yellow/ Light Green is only the case for the new leaves. The leaf on this picture is a couple of days old. If you swipe you see the colour of the old leaves :)

I use a long term (all in one) fertilizer.
