Roxburgh Posted December 4, 2017 #26 Share Posted December 4, 2017 First call tomorrow half moon island south Shetland Islands. First colour group 10am. Fingers crossed! Been snowing there today so should be pretty. Forecast temp 0c Sent from my iPhone using Forums Half Moon Island is Chinstrap Penguins. When we were there we also saw a pair of Macaroni Penguins in amongst them and a Wedell seal hanging out on the shore. Here are a couple of photos to whet your appetite: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chairsin Posted December 5, 2017 #37 Share Posted December 5, 2017 Gayleforce, Your pics are reminding me that a “bad” day in Antarctica is better than a good day most anywhere else. Glad you have Iggy - he is so enthusiastic. Sent from my iPad using Forums Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sunprince Posted December 6, 2017 #40 Share Posted December 6, 2017 Reporting for duty Sunprince. Just heading out from Stanley Falklands. Weather turned out great and we had a wonderful day at Volunteer Point with literally thousands of Penguins including Kings, Absolutely wonderful to cruise with Seabourn. No comparison with Regent, heads and shoulders better. Regent firmly on our never cruise list. Food and staff wonderful, no cold meals and the menus have been absolutely wonderful the past 4 weeks now. Have another Seabourn booked for next year and buying a future cruise certificate since only early 2019 available now. Hard to describe how much better Seabourn is than Regent. Staff well trained and plentiful/ More later, rocking and rolling as we head for Antarctica at max speed with weather expeced to be good in the Drake Passage. First of 6 stops in Antarctica Tuesday. More later. Forgot to mention entertainment which has been great beyond belief. Really good shows almost every nite and sometimes pre dinner and jpost dinner. On our 4th group of entertainers with at least one more after Antarctica. And the 4 singers have been beyond belief. It doesn't get any better!!!! RallyDave, thanks for the update and comparison to your Regent experience. Glad to hear you are enjoying the Seabourn experience. Wish we were onboard!
