NCL Sun 11/19/16 Santiago, Chile to Buenos Aires, Argentina, 14 days, "around the horn"

I thank you for the time and effort you put into posting this review. Our cruise is getting very close and you have increased my knowledge of what to expect greatly.

Rustynees, the Torres Del Paine National Park excursion at Punta Arenas port, provided by NCL was $1124 per person. Ouch. I just checked the NCL website, it now posts the price of $1199 per person. I purchased this excursion months ahead and paid it off before we went.

I still think it was worth it, but that was by far our most expensive excursion ever. The landscapes were worth it to me. Breathing the fresh air, seeing the wildlife; it was all great.

Thank you for all your information advice and great pics, I will definitely consider the excursion as our special anniversary present to us......

awesome. thank you for doing that.

south America is on my bucket list and those pictures are spectacular. great stuff.

Thanks for that wonderful review with great pictures. We leave tonight for Santiago and board on Saturday.

My daughter works on the Sun--joined August in Alaska--her six months are up Feb22. She has commented on how beautiful SA is and loves "cruising" the coast of Brazil...

That's great. Glad she is enjoying the adventure. We board on Saturday - so excited. :D

Thanks for your comments.

As I said "the best part on the Sun is her crew". Love and thanks to all the workers who helped us enjoy our cruise so much!💕 (What does your daughter do on the Sun?

I have found some of the pics from Mike's camera that I want to add; stay tuned.

I'm certain you saw her--may even have got to know her a bit--she is one of the Ships Photographers...

We received a photo package as a promo so I expect we will meet her. :D

Thank you for the great information- we have this trip on our bucket list. Did you have to mail your passports away for any visas before this trip?

No, you "surrender" them once on board. Don't worry they will keep them safe until you arrive in Argentina.

Or if you are going the other direction, ( Buenos Aires to Santiago),I'm not sure how they do it.

P.S. I don't know the reason that they do this.

No visa required for US citizens.

I’m sharing this review for some interested cruisers on the fb group site ‘cruise junkies gossip site. Sorry all of the videos didn’t post.

Thank you for taking the time to write your review , i really enjoyed it and the photo`s are fantastic x

Love the review! We are going on the reverse itinerary in Jan 19. I have read several reviews of the Montevideo tour and BBQ; I think that I am going to have to convince our group to book that one!

Hi this excursion was a private tour set up by our cruise critic meet and greet crew. (They set up several private excursions throughout the cruise, she posted at end of this review #113 above, cruise critic name: ISLABONITA). Maybe she can give you the information.

Our driver that day was Hebert and he was great...the first half of the day, he showed us highlights of Montevideo, we had a short time to see cathedral and shop, then he took us to his own house for a great uruaquay BBQ. His own wife and daughters helped cook and serve. We felt like family! All of the famous meat that this part of the world is known for.

Hope you get to enjoy it all.

Will the ship be the Sun in January 2019?

Thanks June 123. I love going back and reminiscing about our South America trip. It was a bucket list cruise for us and we are so glad we went!
