Well....I am still alive🙂

Thanks for the info SarniaLo. Should be an awesome trip!👍

Rick

Guess we'll just go with the flow for the 3 days in the Falkland Is. The closer we get to the big day, I'll look into it further.

Btw...don't think you'll see us👈👉

Rick

Just wondering whether any folks here are doing the 18 day Antarctica, Chilean Fjords and Falkland Islands in January, 2022 on board the Roald Amundsen.

Rick

We have an Antarctica, Chilean Fjords and Falkland Islands cruise booked for January 2022 with Hurtigruten for 18 days. I'm guessing cruising will back to some kind of normality by that time.....I hope!!

Rick

I think everybody should "Hasten Slowly" in these difficult times. I 'm sure a proper vaccine to treat this virus will certainly take time, and until that happens and all proper testing has been carried out, we should not even think of travelling particularly overseas.

I know for a fact most of the cruise lines are bombarding us with cruise deals, I know I receive them on a daily basis, however I say disregard all that for the time being.....it's all about profit!!  We do not need that right now!!

Better to be safe than sorry.

My 2 cents.

Rick

Guys/Gals,

We are booked on the Roald Amundsen (Hurtigruten Cruises) January 27, 2022 out of Santiago on an epic 18day'er. We have around 5 days in the Antarctic region.

Really looking forward to his one, should be absolutely awesome!

Rick

Well we are booked for January, 2022 to the Antarctica. I'm guessing that will still be a goer!

Rick

I tell you what Mic...you're a wealth of information🙂

Rick

We visited the Baltic region back in 2018 during May/June. We thought the weather would be on the cool side, however it was sunny for most of the time. I would pack some summer gear as well .

Rick

Good stuff Queen of DaNile. We are cruising on the Roald Amundsen in February,2022. Looking forward to it very much.

Rick

Thanks for the info guys.

Many thanks for all the replies and worthwhile information everybody. It's very much appreciated. Cruise Critic in my opinion is second to none when it comes to information, feedback etc.

The only other thing I would like to know is whether Celebrity has "Beverage Cards" as opposed to "Beverage Packages."

We usually get them with Holland America.

Thanks

Rick

Thanks for all that input everybody, it's greatly appreciated. We may have to forget about the Antarctica part and just stick to the tip of South America.

I will probably wait a while until Holland America release their cruises for that particular region and go from there and do a price comparison.

Rick

Thanks for the info jelayne. What month did you cruise?

Hi All,

We are seriously looking at a South America/Antarctica cruise in Jan/Feb, 2022 and have not sailed on a Celebrity ship before, having sailed mainly with Holland America. 

There are cruises on the Celebrity Silhouette in that period and was wondering what the demographic was for cruises to those areas?

We are both in our 60's.

Thanks

Cheers

Rick

Hi All,

I'm considering doing a 14-15 day cruise on the Sun Princess in a balcony cabin and hear from different sources that they are fairly small. Could anybody here possibly give me some feedback?

Cheers

Rick

Hi All,

I'm considering a cruise on the Sun Princess in a balcony cabin for around 14 or 15 days, and it appears they are pretty small. Could anybody here give me some feedback as to whether they are worth it?

Cheers'

Rick

We have decided to do a Hurtigruten cruise to Antarctica on January 23, 2021 for 20 days. It's pretty expensive but like they say, you can't take it with you. It should be a very memorable trip to say the least.

Rick

I contacted HAL yesterday regarding the phasing out of Antarctic cruising after 2021 and they stated they knew nothing about this.

We are thinking of doing either a Jan or Feb 2021 cruise.

Rick

Thanks for that info guys. Thinking of going right around Australia now for maybe 15 days or so. 

We've not seen much of the west coast so seems like a plan.

Rick

Hi All,

Has anybody here done the above 15 night cruise around Australia on the Sun Princess?

I would like to know whether it's worth doing.

Thanks

Rick

Hi All,

Just wondering whether anybody here has sailed on the Pacific Dawn recently?

We are thinking of doing a short cruise up the Queensland Coast soon. 

Thanks clo for that info. Is there a particular month which would be better to take this type of cruise or do you just take your chances and hope the weather is going to be ok?

Rick

Many thanks for all the replies so far....they are much appreciated.

I guess my main question would be is there a particular month to go on this cruise or is it a case of "Pot Luck"?

Thanks

Rick
