We had an excellent cruise. The Expedition Team and all the boat crew & staff were very good - knowledgeable and friendly and provided a very good service. The food in the dining room was very good. The drinks in the bar were reasonably priced. Our cabin was comfortable. The 2 areas where we feel there could be improvements are: 1. The explanation of how to connect to the boat wi-if - we needed to ask Alex for his help and he was great. Without him we would not have been able to use the wi-if effectively. 2. We thought the distribution of the final slide show could have been better planned.Text
