Lindblad Expeditions Expedition Cruises Reviews

Overall, the cruise was great (crew, food, expeditions, staff, etc)....my problem is with the room and, more specifically, Lindblad's deceptive advertising that resulted in my girlfriend and i paying around $8000 more for a standard room.

The first room we were assigned smelled so badly of mold and ...
