On the Amazon cruise. Lawrence dont take one review to heart too much. I have heard that but I have also heard wonderful things about the Amazon cruise. So different strokes for different folks again. No one is right no one is wrong just different perceptions and expectations. Whenever you expect to see a lot of wildlife you will probaboly be disappointed UNLESS you go to the Antactica or Africa. I also have heard the "brown water" comment before so I do think that the water is pretty brown in the actual river but I also hear there are a lot of color changes during the cruise which make it kind of interesting.
I got one glowing review from the Antarctica trip. As this person raved about the experience I asked about the food and rooms. As you know we have heard bad reviews on the food and rooms. Her comment "well it was not Radisson - but you should not expect that we were on an expedition ship --- now let me tell you etc etc etc." She said she would board the explorer again in a minute and wanted to know if RSSC was chartering it for any other cruises. This person has sailed on the Diamond before and many other cruises.
Same trip - different views.
