ActiveFor people who enjoy walking as much as two miles a day, perhaps to explore historic neighborhoods or a nature trail.
Moderately ChallengingFor hardy explorers who enjoy a good physical challenge, spending most of their days on the go.
ChallengingGet ready to keep up with our highest-energy group. These demanding — and rewarding — programs are for seasoned outdoor enthusiasts.

No. I don't, although I would be pretty sure that the general power is 220v 50Hz. There may be a low-power 120v outlet in the bathroom for charging shavers, etc but not running a hair drier. Some inexpensive hair driers have dual-power capability. Most device chargers are dual power, but not some electric toothbrush chargers. In any event, questions like yours may be addressed in the detailed info package we will receive a few months before departure time. If you need to know right away, ask Road Scholar and they'll find out for you.

Ginger and David: We remember Susan and Jeffrey well! They were excellent travelling companions. Eastern Odyssey is by far the most ambitious trip we've ever planned. Edith and I look forward to your company on this excellent adventure.

This is more than ambitious for us...we have never travelled in a group, nor have we ever taken a cruise (other than an expedition boat in Galapagos)!

Will we need immunizations?
Report this Post
Stuart Litt Mar 22, 2013 at 05:01 PM

The Center for Disease Control's website has country-by-country immunization recommendations at http://wwwnc.cdc.gov/travel/destinations/list.htm. For a trip into the South American jungle, we visited the Travel Medicine department at our local medical center for consultation and shots. It cost us $250 per person plus shot fees, and that was a few years ago and it was not covered by medical insurance. This time I plan to do my own research and go to my regular doctor to get any shots I need.

Are there inexpensive options for doing laundry (other than using the cabin's sink)?
Report this Post
Stuart Litt Mar 22, 2013 at 04:53 PM

We called the U.S. representative of the ship company and was told that there is no self-service laundry facility onboard. However, for those taking the full Academy laundry charges will be discounted by 50%. I suspect that we will use some of our free time ashore to find inexpensive laundries or laundromats.

There is WiFi on board but on ships it is usually limited to a specific lounge area. The fee is kind of high, I think I heard it is 12 Pounds Sterling for 2 hours of use. I plan to go to hotel lobbies or internet cafes when in port.
