Anyone back from the south america cruise??? Wondering what the weather was like and the cruise in general. We are going on the NCL SUN on January 19th.

A couple of the people from the 12/07 cruise have posted reviews.

There has also been some post-cruise discussion under that cruise's roll call.

It's always a good idea to prepare for windy and cool weather as you cruise south of Buenos Aires and Valparaiso. We recommend taking a jacket, sweater and/or fleece, hat and gloves and to plan to layer your clothes for the cooler/windy weather.

 

The other factor to keep in mind is that the weather in this area changes rapidly so one hour it can be less windy/cool and the next hour quite windy making it feel much more cooler.

Thanks for the info.

Got back from BA this morning after cruising there from San Francisco. Everything south of Ecuador was cooler than expected. BA was warm and pretty much perfect temp. It rained for 20 minutes or so 2nd day. Falklands and Ushuaia cold and windy. Chile, chilly. Bring layers.
