    Thanks for the review. How great to have been in Buenos Aries during their World Cup win! We will be on this cruise in March and you reviews of the ports was helpful. We’ve booked the gauchos and peninsula tours! One question though, how was it getting on the ship in Buenos Aries? Thanks again.

    • @TheWeekendCruiser
      @TheWeekendCruiser  Рік тому +1

      Thanks Nancy and you are going to love the gauchos tour!!! Getting on the ship was surprisingly easy. It is a multi-step process but was well organized and moved along. We took an Uber to the cruise terminal, you go into a holding area for a bit, then you go into processing of your documents, then security and they will keep your passport. You will then take a shuttle bus to the ship. Sounds like a lot but it moves really well. Have a blast!!!

    • @TheWeekendCruiser
      @TheWeekendCruiser  Рік тому +1

      Hey Karri and you are going to love it!!! There is no good way to pack. It will be summer in the northern part of your cruise and as you go south, it will probably be much cooler, windy and rainy. I wish I would have had more solid warm rain style clothes or clothes that were more versatile with the weather. I was VERY undressed most of the time and the ship did not sell warm clothing at that time.

      They were all through the ship! I have learned that when cruising internationally, I prefer the ease of use and lower stress of booking direct with the cruise line. Especailly, int'l it's often tough to get the times to line up to the shore side offerings.
