HX random questions (may be more specific to Greenland/Iceland)

[AroundWithMAPTravels]

New to HX, some random questions (have July Iceland/Greenland expedition scheduled) (note, not new to expedition cruising, have traveled with at least 3 others).

1. I see that there is no “baggage handling” included… does this mean that you just go to port with your bags, and both you and your bags get screened, after which you just roll/carry your bags to cabin?
2. Normal embarkation time in Reykjavik?   Is there a buffet lunch on embarkation day?

3. how are items labeled on menus/buffet regarding gluten free, vegetarian, etc?  Also in Lindstrom restaurant?

4. Disembarking in Reykjavik,   Assuming that we will need to disembark by around 0900, with flight not until 1700… are there excursions offered onboard for disembarkation day that include a tour plus drop off at Keflavik to “pass the time”?   I have found some 3rd party excursions that include blue lagoon and transfer to Keflavik, but given the current situation with volcano and last minute closures, do not want to caught with last minute cancellation and have to scramble to find another way to airport.   What options have people found ?

5.  Overall impressions on how included excursions are handled? If/ When options like kayak are offered, how are they handled (nothing listed for our itinerary, so I am assuming that like other expedition trips, they are not “scheduled “ as such, and will only be announced based on itinerary?   Included in cost or extra  - if so, approximate cost)?
6. Things that HX does best😄 (for those of you that have done expeditions with others)?
