Review summary

We did not like EXC excursions talks or ratings. To much talk of Danger in city and leave ship only in groups. The Amazon excursions talks were negative. It’s hot ,humid, to much emphasis on walking and maybe not good for you ( which was all normal walking time and distance in my view) they should rephrase to read. Not handicap accessible or no walkers . Emphasizing on cobblestones is negative. Let people go out and experience and decide on their own. I would not recommend Brazil. Liked Amazon very much

Cabin / Stateroom

5 out of 5

Cabin 042. I do not like the couch, not comfortable To big and cumbersome. My husband sits on Chairs because of age and back problem. Therefore I requested a stool for vanity.
