Sail Date: Jan 2018
Cabin: Oceanview (obstructed view)

Sailing around the horn of South America was a great adventure. Really makes you think about what the early explorers had to endure when they sailed in small, wooden ships.

Service by the staff was excellent. Dinner menu was very good and varied. Breakfast was a bit of a disappointment, and became very boring. There was very little variety over the two weeks. Other than corned beef hash, there was no meat other than pork.

Entertainment was good, but there was a definite lack of things to do on sea days.

Cabin Review

Oceanview (obstructed view)

Cabin OW

We moved from a balcony to an obstructed view. The view was blocked by the Emergency Evacuation System, which obstructed part of the view. We could get plenty of daylight and still see the water. Had we stayed in the balcony, we would probably only have used it one or two days at best, since the weather was generally cool once we started heading south towards the cape. Absolutely do not regret moving from our balcony.. Cabin was well maintained and the cabin steward was excellent, as was the other ship staff.

Port Reviews

Punta del Este

Beach resort with a 40 minute tender ride. Little of interest for me. Really wanted to visit Montevideo, but that port has apparently been switched with this one.
