Nautica Africa and Asia 1/7/14

Hello : Just booked NAUTICA for Jan. 7 ,2014 Cape town to Singapore . This will be our 4th cruise on Oceania and have always had a great experience .Food, service, staff, entertainment ,etc have always been first rate .The passengers are wonderful, warm, friendly, and a pleasure to travel with .However, the excursions leave a lot to be desired.Much too expensive and the quality is poor overall .We are very much interested in arranging smaller,more upscale side trips and excursions with like minded passengers. We are experienced travelers with no physical limitations ( as YET )I am a Retired gynecologist and my wife is a jeweler .This always helps in breaking the ice .We're married over 50 yrs, 3 children, 9 grand children and try not to be boring. Like food ,wine, dancing ,laughing. not into golf, bridge or Mah jong. hoping to hear from you . Barelle:)

What are you doing about Yellow Fever jabs?

Asking Oceania for advice but getting nowhere fast.
