Apologies if this is not suited for a new thread...my search did not indicate anything obvious.
Rumor has it that one, with a flexible schedule, can go to Ushuaia or Punta Arenas and within a few days find a better price on cruises to Antarctica than if one books in advance. Does this hold true or is this an Internet myth?
(I realize the many nuances of Antarctica cruises - ship capacity, activities, etc. My question is very general at this point.)

Curious if anyone has any actual private yachting experience. I watched a bunch of seasons in the past, haven't watched for awhile. Watching S10, up to E4 today.
How much occurs off camera?
Only one day before the first guests for a new crew on an unfamiliar yacht to learn everything about it - both interior and deck? Just the safety aspects of undocking/docking...
Capt. Lee seems to be a staple of the series. But not in full health as the person in charge of the yacht? Would this occur on a non-TV yacht? And because he is unwell, his commentary about the deck crew seems to be more gruff than usual.
Ushuaia and Punta Arenas as Departure Points and "Deals"

Thanks for this info. I'll continue to monitor this thread. In one of my Facebook travel groups, I am also getting mixed results re: last minute deal availability.
Selfishly, I was monitoring online deals for the 22-23 season, but the airfare associated with the deals, either cash or miles, was pricey to book at last minute. I am thinking about going to Ushuaia in 23-24, finding a deal, or if not, intra South American flights are readily available and exploring some of Chile or Argentina.
If I find anything of significance, I'll post as I believe in giving back.
