Ngaire, thanks for the info on Robben Island.

I am not that much concerned about lack of excursions in Cape Town (probably wouldn't take one) as I am about the lack of FREE excursions in other ports and that we are wait listed on four excursions. The Regent site says up to 73 FREE Shore Excursions. I did a simple check of the website and found that there are a total of only 49 FREE excursions in all the ports combined. How do they calculate the up to number? They need more FREE excursions in Male and Maputo; both with very limited options (actually none as there are two free excursions in Male over two days and one in Maputo).

Sorry to harp on this but this is a pretty bad situation.

edited to add: Ngaire, my real concern with having only one option is that most passengers will be on that; many that aren't interested in staying out for a long time or even as long as is posted; mutinies occur. Regent needs to follow your lead and having a "do everything" Ken group and a "bit easier" Ngaire group. Nothing worse than having your one day in Maputo or Farajah or Male or wherever impacted by those that complain and want to end the tour quickly (I know, I have been in the group rooting for a quick return ).
