Wish we could have had local entertainment and speakers on board. Could have even been local craftsmen. Something to expand our visit and knowledge of the area. All our speakers were retired white men with no real connection with the Amazon or Brazil.

Reading about the Amazon is certainly different than visiting it. Depending on the time of year, the river can be low and there are almost no bugs. Although the Amazon is a wide river, the ship was usually close to a bank for photos.

Unfortunately the Amazon cruise was underwhelming. We ran aground and missed two ports. Manaus and Belem are large, dirty cities. The excursions were disappointing and we saw few animals and virtually nothing about the Amazon rainforest.
