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.

Ship Quality
4 out of 5
The Star is an older ship, and that’s obvious in spite of some upgrades in recent years. The common areas, including hallways, were cleaned daily. There was a respiratory ailment circulating on the ship. I was one of those who caught it. It was airborne, so the staff wasn’t able to eradicate it.
Cabin / Stateroom
4 out of 5
Inside cabin on deck 10. Small but efficiently organized. Especially liked the shower, which was larger than most cruise ship showers and had a sliding glass door — safer than the usual curtain.
We flew in the day before and spent the night in a waterfront hotel. Lots of deals, pelicans and other creatures along the coast. Otherwise, we didn’t see much to do there.
Nice city tour, plus a visit to an estancia (ranch) with herding and riding demos by the gauchos (cowboys) and a tasty lunch with delicious beef and chicken.
