Ports of call

Buenos Aires, Argentina

4 out of 5
Difficult to find nice women's bras. The food however, was outstanding as was the cost of the food.

Ushuaia, Tierra Del Fuego, Argentina

3 out of 5
Most of the stores were shut by the time we arrived.

Cruise Drake Passage

5 out of 5
Our captain was outstanding- we almost didn't know that we were in a dangerous waterway.

Cruise Antarctica

5 out of 5
Isabel, our hostess, couldn't have been any better. She was outstanding, and worked with the captain to ensure that our voyage was exciting, with great land excursions.

Disembarkation

5 out of 5
Outstanding. I could not have asked for a better experience.

What an amazing cruise! I would love to do an Antarctic cruise, although with a cruise line I can comfortably afford. Thank you for your wonderful review!

Sounds like a fun trip, except for some shopping glitches.
