Yes, there are a lot of sea days on the HAL cruise so I can understand that hesitation. One consolation for us is that it will probably be warmer than being at home! Currently -3 F

True 😂👍 but I think we will really choose a Cruise with less days on sea.

Celebrity isn't sailing 2025 to Antarctica.  Equinox is sailing January 2026.  We are on their January 17th cruise.  I looked at HAL but didn't want that long of an itinerary.  Antarctica is the main reason for us.  

If you like HAL, you will enjoy Celebrity.  We were on the Rotterdam last year.

Actually we have already been once on the Equinox wich will sail in South America January 2026 but that was more then 10 years ago and it was one of our favorite cruises. So maybe this would be a good option.

Thank you for your reply.
Yeah both include the Falkland Islands.

We could take a Cruise through Antarctica with HAL but my husband is a bit unsere about that because there would be so many sea days.

Hello, today I have a question about cruising in South America. 
My husband and I thought about taking a Cruise with the HAL Oosterdam from Chile around Cap Hoorn to Buenos Aires. 
Right now we are on the Rotterdaam sailing towards the Panama Canal. 
Now we saw that Celibrity Cruises will have sailings with the Equinox in 2025 and 2026 from Buenos Aires to Punta Arenas and back to Buenos Aires. 
Since it is a long way in Chile from Santiago to the Port we where wondering if that might be a better option. Or would we miss out a lot by not seeing the way from Santiago de Chile to Puntas Arenas? 
Any advice and suggestions would be highly appriciated. 
 

Thank you for all your replies and input. We booked the cruise today! Looking forward to our first cruise with Oceania next April.

Hello everyone,

my husband and I are thinking about taking the Radiant Rhythms cruise next April on the Oceana Sirena. It woud be our first cruise with Oceana and I am pretty excited about giving it a try. But my husband is a bit unsure, because the Sirena will go to the dry doc next May for a refurnishment, Oceania Next. He is afraid that before that the ship will show its age and be poorly maintenaced before that. It is not so much aobut being an older ship and not so stylish but about being in a bad condition that could be annoying. Has anyone been on the Sirena lately and could tell me if my husbands worries are valid or (hopefully) not?

If you purchased the dining package are there still some extra charges for a dinner at cagneys steak house? or are then all items on the menue there inculuded?
