Cool Cruiser (2/15)

  1. Hopefully the charter airlines and arrival airports remain the same. We flew on Fly Bondi to Ushuaia and Areolineas back, both at EZE. I did hear and read about airport / airline changes for the charters. The airports in Buenos Aires are NOT close… That said, EZE is rather small and quite efficient in our experience. Good luck! ALSO… @northwoods2 If you’re physically able to do so safely (which I assume since you’re interested in the overnight camping excursion), you MUST do the polar plunge. It was AMAZING! I would have DEEP regrets had I not… Corey & Karen
  2. Internet is not great! You can add in 1GB increments for $. Only plan to use internet for messaging or an Emergency! While you’ll want to share the beauty, waiting until you’re home or in Argentina worked for us. Corey & Karen

  4. We were on the World Traveller, February 15, 2023 - 12 night expedition. It was INCREDIBLE! Best advice, take a good camera or video camera, but put it down frequently to just enjoy the moment! If you have any specific questions, let us now. Corey & Karen
  5. Excellent observations! We agree 100% Thanks for you review. We were on the sailing immediately after yours, I’m pretty sure. We heard stories from the crew about your Drake Shake experience! Corey & Karen
  6. ALL of our communications and information came from our travel agent. Please reach out to your TA. We meet fellow travelers prior to the cruise with limited comms from their TA until they reached out. We did not stay in their pre-hotel, so I can’t comment on that. We made it to the airport on our own, and since the flight is a charter, we met the fellow travelers at the airport gate. Airport is small but I’d get there 2 hours beforehand. Additionally, as a charter, our seats were not assigned until we checked in at the airport. Hope this helps, If you have any specific questions, please ask. Corey & Karen
  7. We actually exchanged US dollars for Argentine Pesos on Florida street. They’re NUMEROUS people announcing “cambio cambio cambio”… They are not aggressive and will tel you the rates up front. We ALWAYS went together but never felt unsafe. We did hear pickpocket stories, so we were concerned. If you are aware of your surroundings and behave just as you would in ANY large city, you’ll be fine. For $100 US increments, we received and exchange rate of $376 Argentinian pesos to $1 US. We chose this route as we were unsure of which credit cards used the official (red) rate ~$245 to $1 U.S. versus the “blue” rate we received at the cambio. We bought a few higher end leather items and having pesos proved beneficial. Other than that, we used the pesos primarily to pay for taxis…
  8. We also just returned. No need to bring a blazer or dinner jacket. Jeans or dress pants with golf shirt, dress shirt, sweater… I agree, I did NOT see t shirts or sweatshirts at dinner. T-shirts and sweatshirts are fine during the day in every area.
  9. I think that you can mention the name…
  10. Great question! We’re on the February 15th sailing and we’re wondering the same thing; does Atlas provide ski poles / walking poles? Are they helpful / necessary? We can purchase but are mindful of luggage weight limitations.
