Review summary

Cruise was nice and met a lot of nice people. Tours on ship too expensive and not worth the money.

Embarkation

1 out of 5
Worse embarkation I have ever experienced. Had us walk up these steep stairs which was ridiculous after taking a bus ride to the ship.

Guest Relations And Excursions

1 out of 5

Didn’t seem to know what they were doing.

Entertainment

2 out of 5
Ships stage shows were terrible. The celebrity band was very good. Some of the other performers were okay, but did too much talking. The singers in the atrium were lousy except for the one singer who sang by herself and seemed Japanese.

Children's Programs

No children

Service and Staff

5 out of 5
The waiters , room stewards , and people working in the stores were very friendly . I felt snubbed by the bar staff at several of the bars especially the martini bar on five more than once. Also the staff behind the main counter on three were very rude most of the time. When the senior officers were seen in the hallways or near the bar area they never said hi or anything unless they were flirting with the young.not a friendly bunch of senior staff.

Ship Quality

3 out of 5
Need to be refurbished.

Cabin / Stateroom

3 out of 5
Need more hanging space. Could use more space for suitcases.

Ship tip

Don’t take the tours with the ship. Too expensive and not worth the price.

Ports of call

Buenos Aires, Argentina

4 out of 5
Very nice, except for the fact that almost everyone only speaks Spanish. Yes took the excursion Best of Buenos Aires on our last day before we left at night.

Ushuaia, Tierra Del Fuego, Argentina

3 out of 5
A ski resort. Yes Ushuaia in Depth, not worth the money at all.. very small downtown.

Cruise Schollart Channel, Antarctica

5 out of 5
Beautiful weather ,saw lots of wildlife, and just had a wonderful day

Cruise Paradise Harbor, Antarctica

3 out of 5
Weather not as good.

Port Stanley, Falkland Islands

2 out of 5
Had too wait too long to get to island by tenders. Only allowed three tenders was ridiculous because other ships were in that day. Didn’t take an excursion.

Puerto Madryn, Argentina

2 out of 5
Making us walk that long pier was another ridiculous idea. I can walk and I thought it was too difficult with the wind we had that day. We could have skipped this port , not much to do.

Montevideo, Uruguay

4 out of 5
Montevideo highlights.tour could have been done in 21/2 hr. Instead of dragged to four hours.

Disembarkation

1 out of 5
Had to walk down those steep steps carrying a mall carry on very difficult.was told to be ready for tour at 8:00 didn’t leave ship until almost 9:00 or later.
