We have had by far the best weather of the Infinity cruises this year. Even at that, it will change several times a day, It is always windy on deck when the ship is underway.

 

The crossing itself was and is very peaceful with an occasional reminder that it could be rougher.

 

The first few days of the cruise were scorching hot and then cold, at least to me. Although on my balcony, when the sun was out, it was time to take the layers off at the Antarctic Peninsula. The good thing about layers is you can were the outter layers day after day and since nobody sees what you wear underneath, you are good there, too. 🙂

 

The key is definitely layers. Mittens over gloves isn't a bad plan, but I didn't have any mittens. I do have rechargeable hand warmers to stuff in pockets

 

Heavy snow was predicted for Ushuaia, but didn't happen. I might have preferred that to the rain - but even the rain was intermittent. The only constant is change.

Thanks so much for the quick and detailed response. We grew up in MinneSNOWta so we have a good feel for layering up. 🙂

Loving this thread. How was the crossing and the temperatures? We will be on the Infinity starting next Saturday. Getting VERY excited!!!!

Thank you for your detailed postings. We will be boarding the Infinity a couple of hours after you disembark. Save some of those Cafe al Bacio pasties for us! 🙃

We HIGHLY recommend Rome in Limo. Booking was easy and flawless. Great communications and follow through.

We are one of two couples that were picked up from the cruise terminal in Livorno by Clara for a day trip to Pisa and Florence. She was very easy to find at the docks and very pleasant to deal with. She is an efficient and safe driver, fluent in English, but most importantly, a remarkably nice person.

We booked this tour as an easy way to see the surrounds. It was SO MUCH MORE. Clara quickly understood what 'made us tick' and tweaked things to meet our likings. We ultimately spent a month in Italy and when we look back, that day with Clara was a top highlight.

It was harvest time in the vineyards. Clara saw the gleam in our eyes and pulled over to the roadside. She got out and spoke to the foreman working the vines. Minutes later we were part of the harvest. What a once in a lifetime experience... partaking in the harvesting of the grapes in the Tuscan hillsides... PRICELESS!!!!

Once in Florence, we were tight on time to get into the Academia (due to our wonderful, yet unplanned, excursion). We did make it there "on time" for our scheduled entrance time but were being pushed back in the queue for some unknown reason. Clara somehow managed to get us to the (almost) front of that long, long, line.

This was our first experience with Rome in Limo but not our last!!!!

Night #1 after all is done (Dinner, Show, etc.) Sitting on the balcony with my Sweetie and a glass of Pinot Noir, feet up, smiling gently and thinking to myself "Ahhh, (fill in the blank) number of more days of this." :)

Hi, J.

Which two nights were the formal nights? 2 and 6?

Thanks
