1 What a fine crew this was. And this goes from the expedition leader Adam Turner and the whole staff to the ship crew and the many servants for room service and food services. Simply a crew that Oceanwide could be very proud of! 2 The custom to have crew members join passengers at meal time was a great way to get more personal contacts and at times more insights about the way things were organized. 3 Food is always an important part, of course, but we felt this kitchen was extraordinary! We particularly appreciated the fact that there was such a rich selection of salads and vegetables. 4 The weather was definitely in our favor from what we heared from Plancius passengers. But a very important part for the success was due to the flexibility our expedition team demonstrated to get the most out of it.
