Review summary

This is my second time on Holland America cruises and they are excellent.

Ports of call

Montevideo, Uruguay

3 out of 5
We got rained out the one day we were there so it's hard to comment.

Puerto Montt, Chile

5 out of 5
White water rafting was great.

Port Stanley, Falkland Islands

1 out of 5
This is like an island where only convicts or convicts to be would live. There is absolutely nothing here, not even any trees, which is why it is always windy.
Don't Miss: Staying on the ship

Ushuaia, Tierra Del Fuego, Argentina

3 out of 5
