Amazing experience with my dive leader and all staff onboard
I had a great time onboard the Mandarin Queen 9. My dive leader Teuy is very experienced, has excellent communication skills and a fun personality. All staff are friendly and professional, always ready to help. Another highlight is the Thai style buffets we had onboard. There are 3 full meals a day and morning and afternoon snacks. We were very well fed during the trip.

A wonderful experience made even better by an exceptional crew
The trip with the Mandarin Queen to the North Andaman Sea was spectacular. The boat itself is very new, well made, and full of amenities that make the experience on board super smooth and very enjoyable. The cabins were large with private bathrooms and aircon at all times. The crew made sure that we were cared for and entertained at all times, from washing our dive towels, cooking great meals and snacks and beating us at Mario Kart. Due to choppy seas we could not spend the planned 4 dives of the 3rd day at Richelieu Rock, but the Manager PicNic made sure that we got some great other dive spots and so we still got some amazing dives done. The crew also took photos of all divers underwater with professional photo gear so that everyone gets some pictures to take home. All in all, it was a truly great experience and we would recommend it 10/10!

The best choice for North Andaman!
It was our first liveaboard experience and we loved Mandarin Queen team and we are sure that we did a really nice choice by choosing them. Everything was very comfortable and the team was just amazing! We have been diving for many years and our dive guide, Toky, was the most experienced and relaxed guy we have ever seen. The rooms and decks were super comfortable and there were super delicious 4 -5 courses food everyday. The staff prepared all the equipment for us, we just wore them and jumped into the water. I highly recommend Mandarin Queen 9. Special thanks to Toky, Picknik and all the staff on board.

Best dives I’ve ever had
I had the best time on mandarin queen 9. The all experience from start to finish was amazing. The boat crew was so nice always strive to give us the best experience, as a vegetarian they always make sure I have something to eat and made special meals for me. The dive masters were the best I dived with and I was pleasure to dive with and the free nitrox was the cherry on the top. If you want to do liveaboard in Thailand don’t think twice and go dive with mandarin queen 9

Great liveaboard
I had a great time on this liveaboard. We went on October. We didn’t see pelagic fish but there was a dive with black tip sharks. The guides were funny, knowledgeable and really nice. The group of divers was congenial. The cabin was comfortable and the food was great.

Good trip on comfortable boat
In general, it was a good trip. I would highly recommend to my friends if the floor of the meals dining deck was as clean as the dive deck (the same level as laundry room), which is cleaned after every dive using vacuum cleaner. There were bits of food and spilt drinks on the floor whole day so I guess it is only cleaned once a day. The cabin is well-lit and spacious but for a new boat, the toilet could be better maintained. The taps are already covered with lime and there are no grab bars for rocky situations. The toilet flush is also old fashion - I have taken boats where you can flush paper into the toilet because they have a system to handle the waste. Other than that, the crew were all very helpful and friendly. There was sufficient variety of snacks and drinks. The dive boats were in good condition, clean and comfortable. The dive deck had cables and ropes trailing on the floor, which made is tricky to walk. It would be nice to have more space to sit and gear up but it could have been the strong waves and wind that prevented us from gearing up at the dive deck. I appreciate the crew for their hard work and attentiveness, and safe diving practices.
