Weight restrictions Santiago - Punta Arenas

[Paul S]

We are booked on Roald Amundsen 13th February 2020 with the Hurtigruten charter flight between Santiago and Punta Arenas and a few days pre departure in Santiago.

 

Weight restrictions on our international flight won’t be a problem. However on a trial pack today we are already slightly over Hurtigruten’s limit of 23 kg for hold baggage and 8 kg for carry on - the latter is just essential camera gear. I have been told it’s not possible to purchase an extra hold case allowance.

 

i have a hunter’s vest with multiple pockets into which I can cram a lot of stuff. However, how closely do they check the baggage weight? Any suggestions on the basis there’s nothing much already packed we can leave behind?

 

We are in a suite and I understand we get free laundry. Can anyone advise whether this is unlimited or restricted, eg a bag a week? I gather this doesn’t include pressing. Are there irons available on the ship?

 

Many thanks in advance,

 

Paul
