Marc saw your post and will get to that eventually right now i cannot post pictures, they are loading too slowly. Recap in a few minutes then a landing,

So in a nutshell personally I love the ship. Cabins, public areas are wonderful. The main lounge offers a great view from all the seats. The two main bars are very comfortable and my lemon drop martinis outstanding. Trivia has been very good and so happy to have this onboard.

Food is a LOVE for some and others are not as happy. Very different dishes for instance last night they had guinea fowl and rabbit. They also had cod and tenderloin. But these unique offerings many love. Sometimes not enough beef for the red meat eaters. But they have an extensive room service menu with a filet, sirloin and great salmon that are all good. Once people figure this out there is ample choice. They are excellent at lactose and gluten intolerance with special menus.

I really like the new zodiacs and the expedition leader is South African and outstanding. Good expedition team. However only one zodiac cruise so have not had the opportunity to really get to know them. The zodiacs are really our water taxis.

No issues at all on getting people on the zodiacs. We are a pretty full ship and they load three groups at a time and everyone is off in about 30 minutes. Two landings a day.

It is truly a blend of expedition and regular cruising. So many landings and so busy we are doing recaps after lunch sometimes two days at the same time.
