Greetings Cruise travelers on the MS Roald Amundsen.  On November 11th , the cruise line has us staying at the Sheraton Santiago.  

I've contacted Marriott and have them contacting the hotel but thought I would ask other travelers.   

Due to the situation of public transportation problems, does anyone recommend a safe company to get to the Sheraton?

Thanks for any information you can provide.

We are now arriving on the 9th also.  Only hope we can get to the hotel without any problems.

Today's update.  I'm getting the updates via the Smart Traveler Enrollment Program webpage

Taxi, bus, and truck drivers have disrupted traffic on several major thoroughfares, including routes to the Santiago airport, which may continue into the weekend. Local authorities report organized marches through sections of Vitacura and Las Condes, which will make their way to Metro Tobalaba and then onward to Plaza Italia. Local authorities expect thousands of participants in Plaza Italia.

Other protests and demonstrations are expected to occur in areas of Santiago throughout the weekend. Continue to monitor local news and government announcements for up-to-date information.

Thanks Everyone, we have been keeping up with the cruise ship and all the information.  Also others who are arriving for the next cruise on Oct 26th out of valparaiso chile.  We still plan on going.  

Nascartony,  Great to hear from another couple on the cruise.  

Yes, not heard anything yet.

We are departing Santiago Chile on November 11th  on the Ms Roald Amundsen but have an overnight in Santiago on the 10th.  Has anyone heard if the ship will relocate the departure city or cancel the cruise?  Thanks for any input on this situation.
