The cruise was excellent in almost all respects.  Accommodations were comfortable, food very good, many entertainment options, and excellent service by all staff.  Only shortcoming was inefficient use of tenders and insufficient time at Ushiaia/Tierra del Fuego stop.

Ship tip

Try to buy excursion tours, especially for penguins at Puerto Madryn and Stanley, from local companies, as Princess tours are overpriced. Also, get to theater early, as it completely fills up.

Ports of call

Buenos Aires, Argentina

5 out of 5
Local people can tell you where to buy high quality leather goods away from the Florida St, tourist area.

Punta Del Este, Uruguay

5 out of 5
Give yourself plenty of time to enjoy Casapueblo..

Puerto Madryn, Argentina

5 out of 5
Buy your tour to see penguins at local travel agency at end of pier.

Port Stanley, Falkland Islands

5 out of 5
Volunteer point has the large king penguin colony, as well as magellenic and gentoo penguins. DO NOT miss this, and save more than $100/pp by booking tour locally.
