1st Tauck tour. Not impressed with the Ponant vessel - just average. Staterooms were very small and not conducive to a comfort level. Food and service mediocre. Certainly not fine dining. Choice and quality of food was second-rate. Wait staff rushed you through ordering, serving and getting you out of the dining room quickly. The excursions were well organized; the directors were friendly, helpful and interested in pleasing the people. Actually, they were very instrumental in making the voyage enjoyable and memorable. Entertainment was top-notch. Summation - I would not recommend the Ponant ship, suggest that Tauck house their guests at the Denali in Venice and not the Marriot on the island, which was very inconvenient.
