    It was an excellent sighting since we were able to see several whales making different jumps, very close to us. Even though the day was gray, we were able to enjoy it, it was very exciting. The only drawback that makes me not rate the activity as "excellent" overall is that we were on the upper deck with quite a bit of wind and there were no blankets, ponchos or similar to protect us. It would also have been important for us to have comments in Spanish, which did not exist.
