Tell us about Zodiac excursions
Very enjoyable and we could see the emphasis on safety. Never felt that any shortcuts were being taken while at the same time, not being overly protective either. The cruise where we got up close with the whales was something special.
Tell us about the expedition team
The entire team was wonderful. Laura (team leader) was a bit extra focused but nothing that was negative. It's hard to pick out anyone as they were all great but Will in particular was very entertaining. His lectures on the history of exploration and on the Shackleton expedition were superb.
Tell us about the Seaventure
The ship was very good, if a bit dated. Only real complaint would be on the shower since the curtain would tend to billow into the already small space but minor issue. As noted above, they are getting rid of the ship anyways. Staff were great and the food and service was excellent.
Something Else?
Not much left to say. It was a sad last day as we had gotten to know the staff and many of the guests.
Do you have any tips or advice for other people planning a trip to Antarctica?

Has your experience changed your perspective in any way?
Not really but enjoy the bragging rights :-)
Do you have any recommendations for Swoop, or feedback about the team?
The information provided was excellent as was the service, as mentioned before. The webinar was great too.
