We sailed on the Nekton Pilot in the beginning of July. This was our first liveaboard experience. And it will not be our last. What a great way to dive.
We did the Northern Bahamas trip and had a great time. Here is a link that will get you to our trip report (very long) and our pictures.

The Nekton Pilot was very nice. The ship is getting a little tired though.
One thing we noticed is that they did not raise and lower the boat on the pontoons like other guests told us they did in the past. I seems they are having a problem with getting the water pumped out after they fill them up. The result is the ship is not as stable in the seas as it should be.
Other than that, we had a great time. We are thinking of doing the Nekton Rorqual (the newer sister ship to the Pilot) on a trip to Belize next.
