Review summary

The buffet area, sitting and buffet itself, is small, therefore finding a table for breakfast and lunch is complicated and too crowded. The quality of the food can be improved. It seems at times that all they want is to sell you something, I know it's normal, this is not my first cruise, but I think they over do it, then again it can be just my impression.

The shows were the best I've ever seen in a cruise, very entertaining, and of good quality.

Service everywhere was very nice.

Shore excursions are rather expensive compering to those in Europe or the Caribe, 250.00 dollars per person in Puerto Madryn to see penguins, beautiful as they are, I think is too much.

I would recommend this destination to everyone.

Puerto Montt, Chile

We didn't see much of the town, but Frutillar was a very nice place to visit.
