Review summary

Amazing. it was really 3 trips in one. Buenos Aires is an amazing city, Antarctica is once in a lifetime, and Patagonia made me want to move there

Embarkation

4 out of 5
Embarkation had to pivot because of the weather damage at the terminal but Celebrity was great onsite. It would have been nice to have a step by step guide via text or email beforehand as this is the most stressful day.

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

5 out of 5
Main dining room food met high standards. We loved La Petite Chef and enjoyed the Indian food at the buffet. Dining room breakfast could have mixed it up a bit, it was a long cruise for the same options.

Onboard Activities

4 out of 5
Outdoor activities are tough in the cold but the staff did a great job of filling the time indoors.

Entertainment

5 out of 5
Talks from the Naturalist were great. The screenings of the documentaries were cool, the Cello performance were amazing. The "magician" was ok. Loved the Rock show, Topper is a little weird. Loved Trivia and Gui, Africa, and David.
