“low level red lighting would help on the lower deck as I couldn't see much down there but I also appreciate the need to have it dark for the purposes of the trip. the guide and other staff were great, they helped to take photos of me and my son when the aurora showed up and kept everyones spirits high as it wasnt till the way back thatchers saw them and we thought we might not get the chance.”
