We arrived at the boat today, dropped our bags and boarded the vessel. The ships are all tied along the pier one next to another which makes for an interesting boarding experience! You cross from one vessel to another to reach the one you are on. The cabins on the MS Ambassador were nicer than I expected. The beds were very comfortable, and the shower and bathroom were more spacious than we expected. We liked being in a Main Deck cabin so we could open the window. There was plenty of space to move around as well.
We decided to drop our bags and tour around Dubrovnik on our own a bit. We walked down to the City Beach, which really isn't a beach, but pebble rocks. The water is so blue here and while we didn't have swimsuits on, it looked inviting so I wanted to jump in. We walked around and found a good restaurant spot. It would be hard to go hungry in this city, they have SO many restaurants. The prices were very reasonable even in spite of the 25% VAT tax being rolled into most menu prices in this area.
We next walked down to Old Town Dubrovnik, the part of the historic city that has been walled off since the 13th century. The city now contains many cathedrals, restaurants down tight alleyways, and shops. Our favorite shop to spy out was Gelato and we needed up getting some to try. We found a crack through the exterior walls for a "cold drink with a view". We found a bar built on the side of the walls with stairs down to take a dip in the sea. We walked back to the pier and boarded the vessel for our three-course meal with the other guests on board.
Kevin got right on our request and had us booked within the week

The info on the website was laid out very well. I did some comparisons with other tours and found Adventure Life met a lot of what I wanted in an Antarctica trip at the cheapest price. Requested a quote on Claudia contacted me right away. She answered a lot of questions the I had via email even though she offered to discuss via phone call. I’m more of an email person so appreciated how she accommodated that and answered all my questions. And when I was ready to book, she quickly got the ball rolling with getting our spots reserved on the trip my friend and I wanted. Thanks again, Claudia!

(1) great information on the website and throughout all the "materials." (2) Jane Packer is great: knowledgeable, responsive, takes a personal interest and tone, seems to care about the customer as a person not a sale.

For our first trip to Costa Rica, Adventure Life designed a tour that meets the interests, ecological and adventure, of our party; but also takes into account our physical limitations sine we are all septuagenarian. We are looking forward to the trip.
