We just got off and we were in room 8007.  Rooms no bigger than others. 18" on each side of bed. 2 desks.  Bathroom was large.  But, it was soooo noisy!  On tender ports you could hear chains being lowered, anchors.  A lot of banging as well.  Noises started around 4:30 am.  During rough seas there was a metal banging going on. Next cruise I will go for mid ship.

We have booked this excursion with  Labo Larsen.  Apparently cruise days they dont scuba dive only snorkel.  This is also ok with us as the experience is too swim with the lion seals.  $80 US per person.  45 min in water.  Hop its warm 😃.  Posting afterwards may be difficult as I'll never find this post again.  Check Trip Advisor under this company name.  Will certainly post comments there afterwards and my add photos.  Pretty excited about this excursion.

We love unique experience and snorkeling with seals with Lobo Larsen Buceo would be a first for us, has anyone done this on a cruise and how was it?

Have you gone yet?  We are going Feb 2, and will be be in Peurto Madryn on the 6th.  Have been in touch with a dive operation there and awaiting confirmation.  They've said that the water should be around 21 degrees at that time, so not too bad.  They do rent dry suites and the undergarments if you want to be warmer.

Wondering if during refurbishing they put in a laundry room.  Sailing for 14 days, with arrival 4 days prior and going home 4 days post cruise, will definitely need some stuff washed. Feb 2 South America.

I'm at Las Palmas and there is no pirate ship here. But, on busy days there is pirate wondering around....

I would go to Little French Cay..this is a rehab for animals..monkeys, birds, lions, horses etc. Short distance via boardwalk to boat launch to take your to the island. More animals, lots of little beaches for swimming easily accessable, snorkeling is OK as reef and rock outcroppings are close. Restaurant on site. Lots of shade spots...good location for all ages.
