South America Cruise Reviews

It was an adventure. Not our best trip, but it was still very nice. Lots of nice places to relax on the ship. The ship itself does NOT handle waves well. I guess that is a risk of going on a smaller ship that can get into these smaller ports..... at least three nights I had to sleep with a pillow over our head because our room creaked by the moving of our boat.

Cruise was great lots to do. Food was great. Service was great.

Despite early disappointments with regarding rerouting, Captain Todd McBain did an wonderful job making this a fantastic experience. He arranged an alternative port with great last minute excursions, and a most amazing cruise through Antarctica. We commend him and the entire crew.

The destination and chosen ports of call were the reason we chose Princess. Unfortunately the ship is in dire need of refurbishment

It was nice. Went by quick. Colder than I e or Ted. Sea days spent inside because of high winds, seas, or coldness

Make sure the excursions are as they describe them.

Definitely a cruise I would recommend for those interested in getting a taste of South America. A trip of a lifetime that I am so glad we made.

Excellent boat and cruise line. I would try to travel again with Celebrity.

This was not a typical cruise. There were more sea days than most cruises, and even in summer the weather was cold most of the time. But it was a fabulous experience, with incredible scenery and animal views. Great way to see a remote part of the world. Ship was older but well maintained, with plenty of activities and excellent entertainment.

Do not sail on the Norwegian Star until they fix the engine (azipod) issues. You will miss ports or spend a shorter time in ports then they say. You will then get extra sea days instead. This ship has had problems since it was put into service and they did not fix the problem when it was in renovations in 2018. Food had progressively gotten worse on Norwegian since they went to the "Freestyle Dining" system. Basically what they have done is made the food at the complimentary restaurants and buffet very poor hoping you will pay the expensive prices at there specialty restaurants. I will not be sailing on Norwegian again after this experience.

The Antarctic made the trip. One of our best. Really spectacular

This was a trip of a lifetime and we would recommend princess Cruise line to anyone

We enjoyed very much this cruise. Río de Janeiro, Punta del Este, Montevideo and Buenos Aires are exceptional. The rest of the islands are NOT worth seeing. we could have stayed in the ship because it was wonderful.

Need more sea days instead of those ugly ports , we just ratter stay in ship another sea day

Great cruise. Great weather. Ship was very clean. Great cruise director on this cruise and it made a huge difference. The captain wasn't very visible. He attended the usual Capt. Club activities. Cancelled the Inside Access tour. Many other cruises I've been on the capt. and staff had Q&A's which I found enjoyable.

Very nice cruise. Lots of nature and nice ports. Excellent ship with nice staff and very good food and drinks.

An interesting trip with lots of sea days to relax onboard.

The smallest of the Princess line with only 2,000 passengers. Overall we enjoyed both segments of our Antarctica voyage! If Antarctica is on your ‘bucket list’, this is the way to do it; with NO regrets! Enjoy!

Costa Rica was switch for Guatemala. Really wanted to see Costa Rica. Tendering was a real issue in every port. You would think that a cruise line would have a working system.

Amazon was amazing, but time on ship was dull. Cruise director had no personality, not suited to job!! Entertainment was horrible for a 30 day cruise. Only high point was Billboard stage. Only 7 menus rotated 4 times
