Buenos Aires to South America Cruise Reviews

We took a 16-day cruise from Buenos Aires with the Norwegian Sun in February 2024. We chose it based on the itinerary and the company's good references. The itinerary was good. The problem was the ship: When we arrived the cabin smelled of cigarettes and bathroom. At night we noticed that there was an unbearable noise coming from the air conditioning. On the second night when we entered ...

My wife and I, both in our 60’s, booked this 14 day cruise from Buenos Aires to Antarctica and were very disappointed. We have over 30 cruises with 10 on Norwegian and the rest mostly on Royal Caribbean, Princess, or Holland America. I usually rate cruises as 5 star as you get what you book and a cruise is usually a good time. However this cruise on the Norwegian Star was overall terrible for ...

Celebrity Review Celebrity earned a D- for the travel, logistics, entertainment, and customer service performance for their Antartica cruise relative to other luxury vacation options. The onboarding and off boarding process were a free for all, with near zero support moving heavy luggage. Completely an Unacceptable disaster. The ship was old and needs to be modernized. To be completely ...

Heard good stories, but people do not tell the truth. We booked Door to Door, well its not really a Door to Door service offering, as you have to book the limousine from your home, Silversea use the cheapest deals with airlines, at the destination and they fail to pick you up at the airport, and when you contact them about being left in a foreign country with no pick up, no language, no phone, ...

One week cruise from Buenos Aires to Rio de Janiero. The worst thing that happened on this cruise is as soon as we entered Brazilian waters, NCL added a 25% tax on every beverage in our so-called free beverage package. When we booked this cruise, we were not told that this would happen. That is quite an expense since 5 of our 7 days on this ship were in Brazil. NCL should of had the courtesy to ...

I took cruises back to back from Buenos Aires to Rio and from Rio to Barcelona on the NCL Star. I am Sapphire and have taken 17 cruises already with NCL. These cruises were definitively the worst I have taken with NVL so far. Why? 1 Cabin cleaning was restricted to once a day, but the tips were increased to 20 USD per day. 2 Food Quality is coming down every cruise. NewYork stake is not ...

Very disappointed in Regent. You can tell that they are cutting corners, especially on the food. The staff are friendly, the highlight of this trip. Many new people, not well trained, especially at the patio grill. They never got my order right. The internet in our cabin was non existent. Their IT guy told us to stand in the hall to receive wifi. We had a previous cruise on this ship 3 months ago ...

The only things that were excellent on this cruise were the entertainment and laundry service. The food was good but not great and the slow sit-down service pushed you toward the buffets (which I do not like). The excursion were only fair, going to some very poor locations. The worst part of the trip was that we had essentially NO WiFi in our 2 cabins and the IT specialist knew that there were ...

We chose this cruise for two reasons. First, to spend time with my parents who traveled with us, and to see the southern part of South America which we had not seen prior. From that standpoint we accomplished goal one, and partially goal two. I'm a cruise veteran, having been on seven different cruise lines, for a total of 18 cruises. This was by far the worst experience we've had ...

This is a very long, detailed log-style review and covers 32 days, including 7 days pre-cruise in Argentina and 2 days post-cruise in Chile. If you just want to summary of the cruise scroll all the way down. Oosterdam South America and Antarctica 12-20-22 I just spend a lot of time putting in my entire 26000 word log and the website would not save it, so here is the cruise summary ...
