The penguins were great and certainly worth seeing. I have some safety concern though. The boat can carry 40 or so people. All windows were sealed close. There were two narrow doors, one in the front and one at the back, to get people out in case of emergency. (see photo) Moreover, there was virtually no deck space on the... More
