I booked with Ken…. Although, I will probably skip the second cruise to Mauritius and Reunion, although I would like to go there, since I read all of the Patrick O’Brien books (aka Master and Commander), and I have met lots of nice Maurituans in restaurants and the FlowRider on RCI ships over the past decade. We will probably hang in Cape Town and fly home from there after visiting Victoria Falls and a few other spots.
It is a bit disappointing that they don’t stop at some obvious good spots on the west coast of Africa, it clearly is just a decision to move the ship ASAP to Singapore. The prices on the Australian leg was impressive (ouch!) to say the least.
