Memorable parts?
The wildlife.
Tips?
Don't go on this ship: it is old and uncomfortable.
Booking a mini-suite was expensive and turned out to be most inconvenient. It was certainly good having ones own toilet and shower, however the bed
arrangement was terrible. The bed was enclosed in a box with only a small corner free for getting in or getting out of bed. If one had to get up in the night
one had to wake one's partner to get out of bed and back in again, as one had to climb... (more)Carole-Anne Fooks
