Hi, Thanks for the video's. My wife and I (from England) are booked on the cruise for December 2024, in reverse sequence, starting in Buenos Aires. We have learnt a great deal from watching. Many thanks. David and Doreen, (Dee)
I would LOVE TO! It’s the biggest thing on my bucket list. I’m looking at an expedition cruise or this one. What kind of insurance did you buy for this cruise? I usually purchase the Cancel for any reason insurance with HAL but I don’t know if the emergency evacuation limit is enough. Thank you so much for this video. I really was not expecting that you would get so close to lamd. I thought the ship would be much farther out at sea and you would not get to see penguin colonies. This is a lot better than I expected. In your earlier video you mentioned getting an interior room for free. How did you get a free cabin for this amazing trip? Not stepping on Antarctica doesn’t mean you haven’t been there. I visited glacier Bay on HAL without stepping foot on it!

I took this cruise January of this year, so 4 months ago! HAL was wonderful value for the price. I have not yet taken a Silversea cruise, although I would like to1
Thanks so much for taking the time to give all this information. My Dad and I are booked for this ship and cruise this coming December 2024. I learned a lot about what we need to do and bring from your videos. Thanks again so much.
I’ll be doing this amazing cruise December 15, 2024 and I’m counting the days and getting excited. I also received a free inside stateroom offer and upgraded to balcony. Hopefully I will not have any obstructions. Your videos are awesome! What camera are you using for the still shots and what do you use for the videos? Thanks for sharing where we can go for good views. That is very helpful.
@@CruisingWithDeeThank you so much for letting me know. What lens did you use? I’m thinking of bringing my RF 100-500mm lens for my Canon R7 but it is so heavy!!
Hello! My friend and I really want to go but we can't get information on if you get to actually step foot ONTO Antarctica during this cruise? Or at least do the polar bear plunge into water? I'd love to know! Thank you
Any cruise ship over 500 passengers does not get to step on Antarctica nor plunge into the Antarctic waters from the ship. This is due to IAATO and Antarctic treaty regulations. There are plenty of smaller expedition ships that can give you the “step on” Antarctica experience, by landing zodiacs. These cruises are much more expensive, but would provide the experience you are looking for.
@@mirnae8935 You are very welcome! Whether you choose a larger ship or an expedition ship, I hope you and your friend make the trip to Antarctica-it’s magnificent!
