We're back! Had a great time, although it feels like they are a bit understaffed, especially in the restaurants.

Thanks for all your well wishes - we DID break the curse and it felt great to be gliding along through the sea.

RachelG, the excursion was very well done. The Ruins are beautiful and on the boat ride on the New River, we saw lots of wildlife. We really loved being in the "true" jungle!

Our guide was able to zero in when he saw the various monkeys, birds, lizards, crocodiles, etc. (I think he's been doing this a LONG time) - and then the captain of the boat turned the boat to both sides so everyone could get a close-up.

Our only complaint was the trip was long - the tender, then a long bus ride, then about an hour boat ride, tour of the Ruins, then the trip back (including a small buffet lunch). So it was about 7.5 hours long. But obviously this is not Regent's nor the tour operator's fault.

We did no other Regent-sponsored tours but went out on our own and enjoyed each port.
