Value
Navis 1 makes sense if you want a Philippines liveaboard without committing to a huge expedition. Coron gives you the longer six-night trip while Apo Reef can fit into four, and the catamaran layout makes the time onboard comfortable even if you don't join every activity. For couples with slightly different interests, that's really useful.
WiFi was useful when needed and thankfully easy to ignore when I didn't want it.
Beach BBQ was a nice change. After several days onboard, eating somewhere different suddenly feels like a special occasion.
Cabin had aircon, private bathroom and proper windows. Thats basically my checklist done.
