Embarked Monday 12/13, later than planned due to Bollywood excursion running late. Immediate safety briefing and port talk followed by dinner.
About 104 passengers, typical foreign mix of crew. All friendly, relatively young’s. Not sure of total crew count.
Lounge spacious, well done, multiple TV screens for talks and lectures.
Dining room also fine. First night meals and wines (complimentary) were acceptable. Need to check out wine list.
Internet spotty- no surprise.
Will explore ship tomorrow morning. Our first stop - Goa - isn’t until noon with a 10AM lecture.
