@@BradleyGautreaux honestly both are great because the captain turns the boat in 360s in important locations so everyone gets a chance to see. We did port side because we love being able to see the location we are in when we docked in locations.

@@SuiteLifeOfZackAndAmanda Thank you so much for the response

I wish I could tell you exactly but we didn’t keep exact track. The cruise itself was around $5,200 for the two of us in a balcony room. We didn’t get any drinks packages, wifi was a couple hundred dollars for the whole trip. It also depends on if you choose to book excursions at the 3 ports in South America as well as that can add up. I can’t remember how much our hotels cost in Buenos Aires and food. Overall being on a ship with the food included for 14 nights I don’t think we spent too much in addition. It all depends on the way you like to travel!

Aw thank you! We did not have to show any vaccines for ours. Celebrity cruises do not stop on Antarctica so there are no excursions. You cruise around for 2 days and they stop pretty close. In order to get off In Antarctica you need to be on an expedition ship with under 500 people per the Antarctic Treaty.

@SuiteLifeOfZackAndAmanda Thank you so much for answering my questions. Much appreciated. :)

@@Daisy12905 Of course! Happy to help. I highly recommend it. Although you cannot get off the ship in Antarctica it was an amazing experience and much cheaper than the expedition way.

@SuiteLifeOfZackAndAmanda I agree. I was looking at expedition cruises to Antarctica and it costs 20k for a solo traveller. You had such beautiful views of the landscapes there. I live in Canada and have done all the excursions an Antarctica expedition would offer except for the camping one and have the experience of walking on snow and ice every winter. I would go just for those views and seeing the penguins on a cruise ship. You both convinced me. Wishing you both more wonderful adventures together. ❤️

I’d highly recommend it. It was a wonderful experience. We did get lucky with the weather as it’s super unpredictable there. They kept telling us it would be very “gray” but we lucked out with it being sunny. I believe 2/4 of the cruises that went this year had really great weather but those who were on the other 2 seemed to still have a great time even though it was a bit cloudier. You can see posts from the trips if you join the Facebook group called Celebrity Eclipse South America and Antarctica Sailings. Many of us had posted pictures of our time there which could give you a better idea of what other cruises had! Overall it was so amazing to be so many icebergs, whales, penguins, and it was so quiet and peaceful. Happy to answer any other questions you have!

What a coincidence, we are from Mooresville too! We loved this trip so much. I don’t remember exact but we were off by about 8:30am. It didn’t take long to get off the ship. They usually start de-boarding by 6:30-7am and if you want to carry your own luggage you can get off at anytime otherwise you have to wait for them to call your section. We took a 9:30am train back to London and had plenty of time. I will say it was PACKED. Ended up having to stand up near the train doors with ours and other passengers luggage stacked up because there were no seats left and only overhead storage. Not sure if there were multiple ships or events going on or if it’s normally that crowded departing South Hampton.

Thanks for the reply. Probably take the 10 or 10:30am train. The earlier train seems to be more busy. Thats funny you are in Mooresville. I work at Costco…so I might have seen you there. 😂

@@todds9746 probably a smart idea! W We go to Costco all the time! So highly likely!

Aw thank you! We had such an amazing time! Wish we could do it all over again!

It s their video not yours….

@@skyhigh33716 Thanks!

@deniselanglois6193 Because of the amount of videos I transition throughout it would sound very annoying cutting in and out of background audio when many of my clips are so short. Thanks for the input though.

Music presumably a substitute for insightful commentary, but let's be honest -- this is just a vacation movie shouting "look at me, and what I did." It offers nothing of value beyond edited imagery. Enjoy!

Thank you! We enjoyed exploring Scotland. The Highlands were breathtakingly beautiful. We were very lucky with the weather. We even got to see the top of Ben Nevis which the tour guide informed us only happens a small percentage of the time.

Thank you so much! We had a blast!

Indeed! I’m no vlogger! Just documenting our amazing trip for our memories and hope it helps anyone else who might be taking a similar trip ☺️

Thank you so much! We had a wonderful time as I am sure you will! Our cruise was May 21-28th so pretty early in the season! The weather was a bit cold cruising the Geiranger Fjord and when we got to the top of Pulpit rock but otherwise it was lovely.

Thank you so much!!

Thank you for the kind words!! I will have to check out those Norwegian musicians. That’s so exciting. You and your wife will have a lovely time. The scenery is breathtaking! For advice if you go to these ports as well. Definitely be outside while sailing into and out of Geiranger. It was so beautiful and it seemed everywhere you looked there was a waterfall. For Olden, the Briksdal glacier hike was also so lovely. The hike wasn’t too hard either. But no matter what you do in port I’m sure you will have an amazing time. I know we did!
