Julie,

 

Thanks for the link. They are wonderful photos. I definitely want to see the lake and the German village in Puerto Montt after seeing those photos.

Hi Jennie,

 

They really are terrific pictures. I hope we have beautiful blue skies in Puerto Montt like they did! We too want to be sure to see the falls, the lake and doesn't the German village look charming.

Julie,

 

Time is going very slowly. It still seems months away. I will send you an email in a couple of days time and fill you in on our F.F. seats.

Great link. We can only hope for such blue skies in Puerto Montt on our 2/26 cruise. If you check out "Orient Lines" on the message board, there's a photo from the Marco Polo with snow on deck. Brrrrr (I live in Florida). We need good luck with the weather!

Thanks for sending us to see that picture - made me shiver just looking at it. Guess we could be in for all kinds of thrills next January. :eek: BRRRRRRRRR Can't Wait !

 

Here's a link to the thread with the picture Toots is talking about:

This was a great review. We have friends who live in Punta del Este Uruguay and on a farm 2 hours from there. I believe they will be on the cruise leaving Buenos Aires, maybe on March 26, returning March 6? Final destination is Valpraiso, Chile. I'm not so sure I'd like to be on a 43,000 ton ship! These same friends took us on our first cruise on the Sun Princess in 1998 and that was 77,000 tons. I thought that was big. My husband and I have graduated to the Caribbean Princess after the other Grand Class-up around 115,000 tons! This looks like it would be a terrific and educational cruise! Lynne
