Tell us about Zodiac excursions
Totally brilliant. Felt safe
Tell us about the expedition team
Lovely team & knowledgeable. Elo was an inspiration Morgaine was gorgeous and radiated calm and Flipper ruled the sea - king of safety. The rest of the team were excellent and very friendly - they all seem to know my name. The lectures were all excellent but the krill fishing lecture got me very angry and the penguin sex life was a revelation about human behaviour The ship technology lecture was of special interest for me as an engineer
Tell us about the Sea Spirit
Really great ship I loved the small size and all the communal rooms and my cabin was excellent. Nice bathroom. Lovely walk-in cupboard. The workout room exercise machines were no good and couldn't get the bikes to work properly. Food very very good. Service brilliant. Loved the coffee machine in the lounge
Tell us about the Kayaking
I transferred to Sea Spirit because the kayaking was unavailable on the other ship. It was the high point of the cruise Finest kayaking experience I ever had. Used to single kayaks and didn't like the doubles but to paddle among the wildlife every outing was an experience I shall always remember. I loved being given plenty of additional time on land every outing. Loved the equipment - dry suit and boots. I brought thin cotton/leather gloves - no good my hands froze every trip - you could have provided thin waterproof gloves at least to those wo didn't have and balaclava helmets for those wo didn't bring. The logistics were brilliant and we were always out and back very fast leaving maximum time for the outings. No waiting
