We were met a the airport and took a motor coach ride to a dock where panga's (inflatable boats) took us to the ship. The embarkation was quick and easy. Our room was very spacious with a large window, closet, and surprisingly large bathroom. The bathroom had a shower with shampoo, conditioner, bath gel provided and were good quality. The bed was very comfortable and the window above the bed had a power blackout shade. There are no locks on the cabin doors but there is a safe that we would keep passports, electronics, jewelry... we kept our cell phones with us in waterproof bags.

The bridge has an "open door" policy and we got a great private tour. They answered all questions and were friendly like all of the other crew members.

The dining room was clean with plenty of room. Breakfast-buffet with pretty much everything you could want. Lunch-buffet with usually a pasta, main courses, veggies, fruit and desserts. Dinner-sit down with usually 2-3 choices for appetizer, main course, and dessert. Dining room was casual with hiking shorts/pants, polo's/tee shirts for breakfast and lunch.
