Describe the aspects of your itinerary that you thought worked really well. The excursions, lectures, and the photography program- particularly the small group aspect led by Jay Evans. I did not anticipate the personal and small group aspect. Very much welcomed.

Describe the aspects of your itinerary that you thought needs improving Some understanding and compassion by the hotel director towards the passengers who had their entire experience disrupted through no fault of their own.

“It was a wonderful adventure. The only negative was at the beginning of the trip when a water pipe burst and I had to be relocated on the ship to another room for most of the remainder of the trip. I was relocated to an interior cabin and lost the ocean view and large room I had paid for. The staff was wonderful except for the man in charge who seemed to bear no responsibility and seemed to think I should be grateful that a room was available for me. He did not seem to think a conversation was warranted and I should be happy with the fact that the matter would be settled by him upon deemarquent. What I was forced to settle for was a pittence for what I lost in terms of the room that I paid for. The expedition leaders were excellent. I was particularly pleased with my photography venture which is why I chose this cruise. Jay Evans was an excellent leader who worked closely with our team of photographers at all points in our journey beginning months in advance. He put together a group of strangers and I feel like I now have a group of lifelong friends. If it weren’t for Jay and his leadership as well as the other expedition leaders- this cruise would have been an absolute disaster for me due to how the burst pipe incident was handled with the lack of compassion and minuscule compensation.”

Describe the aspects of your itinerary that you thought worked really well. The way that everything just seemed to fall into place .. flights, hotels, transfers and obviously the destination ... Stephen at Chimu was awesome, pre-trip I had "numerous" questions and clarifications, all of which were very clearly responded to and in a very prompt manner ... greatly appreciated.

Describe the aspects of your itinerary that you thought worked really well. The incredibly good weather we experienced on this cruise enabled us to see and do so much more than we expected.

“What an incredible experience - so much to take in and enjoy - the awe-inspiring scenery - all of 'the up-close' encounters with the abundant wildlife in the area. The staff on the ship were caring and the many onboard activities / lectures were well worth attending. The zodiac expeditions with such knowledgeable people were well worth the effort of clambering on board.”
