Disappointing/inexperienced expedition staff

Review for a South America Cruise on Ventus Australis

I found the round trip disappointing. The first 4 days (Punta Arenas to Ushuaia) are beautiful because of the route. The second part (Ushuaia-Punta Arenas), two days at anker in a bay and almost a full night cruising the channel in front of Ushuaia. The crew of the ship is really good, especially the ones that take care of the rooms and the bar. The restaurant staff is over the top in ...

Scenic Eclipse was the perfect cruise ship for us. I'm not a fan of large ships. Not really even a fan of medium ships. Under 300 guests is my preference so Eclipse's 228 max was just right. I realize you give up some things in order to have a more "yacht like" experience like casinos and large broadway style productions. But I don't care for either of those things so they're not much of a ...

A four stars + hotel sailing through the Chilean fiords

My main interest was to visit the beautiful fiords in the South of Chile from a cruise that would also allow for some land visits in order to get in touch with the local nature - glaciers, specific flora and fauna. All these goals were fulfilled to perfection. Furthermore, the ship was most comfortable, large, clean and beautifully decorated; cabins were excellent, similar to rooms in a four stars ...

I chose Silversea because they had a cruise that would have me in Antarctica for my birthday. Due to COVID, my 2021 cruise was canceled. I understand- COVID. Since my cruise and plane tickets were already paid for, I thought it easier to just rebook for the following year. I had no problem switching the dates of my flight to Argentina and Silversea still had a sailing that would have me in ...

This report includes information on our February 15—March 12, 2022, “Ross Sea” expedition cruise on the Le Commandant Charcot with Ponant. Although we had taken a “drive by” cruise of the Antarctic Peninsula in 2007 on the Golden Princess and explored “Beyond the Polar Circle” in 2020 on the Le Soléal with Ponant, this expedition offered the opportunity to experience much more of the Antarctic ...

I would have preferred the felf-service modality, ...

First Time Cruiser • Age 50s

As a first time cruiser, I chose Silversea for it's supposed commitment to customer care and luxury service. Unfortunately, the complete bungled mess I experienced impells me to warn others about Silversea's complete disregard for the safety and satisfaction of customers in the time of Covid under Royal Caribbean's management. I should preface by saying I'm really not that picky, and can overlook ...

First Time Cruiser • Age 50s

My husband and I chose this cruise because of the "ultra-luxury" status that Silversea promotes themselves to be. We are not high-maintenance people by any means, but wanted our trip to Antarctica to be truly a once in a lifetime experience. Even before departing the USA, we had difficulty with Silversea. The requirements to enter Chile are extremely strict, and our Silversea agent was ...

Silversea and any RCCL - Never Again!

6-10 Cruises • Age 70s

After stressing their comprehensive anti-COVID policies and procedures and requiring passenger vaccinations and triple COVID tests, Silversea embarked approximately 150 COVID-negative passengers on a ship with many already COVID-positive, quarantined and ill staff. By day 2 of the cruise we were told approximately 10% (a deliberate under-estimation per crew members asked to do double duty) of ...
