Thank you peconolady, that helps. I do not plan on wearing shorts ever…lol was hoping jeans and sweat pants for the ship in cold was ok, I also have sweatshirts. Just did not want to be too warm on the ship.

@PoconoladyThanks for your detailed advice. One question: is there a need for waterproof pants? I think I have the rest of it covered. 

No, waterproof pants aren’t necessary, unless you are going on a shore excursion in Argentina that warrants them.

Currently 63 degrees on my balcony. 70 in the cabin. Easy enough to open the balcony door if I want it cooler.

 

Besides waterproof, insulated, hooded rain jacket, I also have one of these:

gloves, and rechargeable hand warmers.

 

Weather Channel still is saying snow in Ushuaia - 1-3 inches - high of 36, low of 29. Winds 15-25

 

No, I didn't bring waterproof pants, or ski bibs,

All the way to Super Bowl Sunday... Yes, they showed.

They really cook the hamburgers if front of you. Not as good as Guy's, but not bad.

Don't miss any of Celia's presentations.

Not sure how much Internet there will be south of Ushuaia, but there will be more to see. Around Ushuaia is where the fun begins!

Love Ushuaia!!! 
if you have time after your excursion, there are great restaurants in town, featuring whole king crabs, one of the best treats of the trip! So fresh!

Note to self: tomorrow morning early is Hammer Island / isla-martillo on the port side of the ship

 

We are in Port (Ushuaia) 10am - 9pm. Tour meets at 2:45pm in the Rendezvous Lounge.

 

Weather forecast - go out on the balcony.

Hmmm. I think I've posted 3 different steak pictures. By far the best was in Buenos Aires, then the filet at Tuscan Grille, then the NY Sirloin Steak was in the MDR.

Getting ahead of myself - first penguins, Hammer Island

Won't have time - I think our tour ends about the time we have to be back on the ship. Glad we are docked and not tendering. Several ships here - two are docked and at least two are tendering.

Do you know who the Captains Club Concierge is?

Love all the photos.  Thanks for sharing.  Looking forward to hearing about the rest of your cruise.

God, those penguins got me excited!! Can't wait to see them! Did the captain say an estimated time to see them?

 

By the way, when did Celebrity change it to dock? Were you told beforehand? I'm praying for a dock for my cruise (I'm a wheelchair user).

The naturalist gave an approximate time and I was watching the map on my phone and knew when to start really looking.

 

Some knew we were going to dock but I didn't hear the announcement. There are a number of ships here, only two dock and the rest tender

Absolutely not. I'll try to remember to ask

After a somewhat crappy day in Ushuaia, we had unbelievably perfect weather at Cape Horn. Film at 11. Now headed south. Hope we don't fall off the edge of the planet.
