What was your most memorable moment?

Tell us about Zodiac excursions
Totally amazing. We never felt anything other than completely safe being out there so close to the nature we were seeing. Even with killer whales swimming underneath us and surfacing all around us, we felt 100% comfortable in our surroundings.
Tell us about the expedition team
Superb!! Their training, their backgrounds and education, their concerns -- all top-notch. Hana Spickova was particularly personable, but all were totally amazing.

The ship, the cabin, the food were all superb. the only thing I missed was at least a small gym in which to get some exercise beyond walking.
