Norwegian Star
Sail date: January 07, 2024
Alot to see, I spent 2 days after the cruise there. Hop on Hop Off bus tour and lots of walking. I even towed my luggage from the Cruise Terminal to my Expedia Hotel called Palacio Paz Hotel located about 1.3 miles a bit uphill.
Elephant Island, South Shetland Islands
Maybe i missed something here, but after Paradise Bay and the day cruising the Pennisula. We did see more Wildlife, Penguins swimming and Whales blowing off and swimming right next to the ship. I got one photo of Penguins on the Ice...but they were babies real small lol.
Ushuaia, Tierra Del Fuego, Argentina
What you going to say about the Southernmost City in South America. If the Clouds were not hiding the mountains it would have been a spectacular site. I have the postcards though. Its cool here and breezy. I just walked around the town on the hillside searching for those South Pole/Antartica Souviners just incase we did not make it to Faulkland Islands!!!!
Port Stanley, Falkland Islands
This is where those Baby Penguins get hatched and there are many excursions to get you too them. The town is not too big so you can walk the downtown. I took a tour of the countryside. There is a dog about 3 blocks from the dock, he likes you to throw him the tennis ball....he drops it over the fence for you too throw it back over.... All Day Long!!! Real Cute to watch.
Argh, the winds were too strong and the Tenders were no match...Captain said No Go!!!
Hot and Sunny, did a hike to the viewpoint across the bay approx 2.5 miles oneway. Cool Breeze along the sandy beaches they have a pretty good walkway.
Do not forget to note the All Aboard time, not the time the Ship leaves in the Itinerary. I am a veteran cruiser and I was the last person to board...They almost left me...I was 20 minutes past and 10 minutes from ship pulling ropes. yikes
Cruise Paradise Harbor, Antarctica
Nothing Compares, there was a song i heard once but it didn't have anything to do with Antartica. You can see for miles and miles, it was so clear and quiet and cool (literally) Everyone outside was wearing coats as if they were in Antartica? I wore a Hoody with a windbreaker, thermal underwear and hiking pants. I run hotter than most but i was shielded by the railing for 6 hrs outside on the Bow. No wind that day and probably 0 degrees, fingers got cold but i couldn't take pictures with gloves on. i survived you will too. Get to the Bow, they open it up but it fills up fast...everyone vying for a spot...honestly it got a bit combative with a few passengers being pushy and maybe those long lenses they swing in your face...there was one guy who had enough and put his hand in front of the lense for the guy? I just think the camera man did not think about what he was doing when he swung that thing around.

If your going to the Buffet find a table and leave something personal on it, then get your food. People do not mind sharing a table if they have an opening, so just ask.
