Had the chance to spend 12 nights on the Celebrity's Infinity touring around South America. We did an South America excursion in every port and wanted to do a review of how the Cruise Line excursions went and what you should consider doing if you find yourself in one of these South American cruise ports.

Great video of a super cruise, Brandon! It is a trip of a lifetime. I did Infinity from Santiago to BA, and the ports are all worthwhile and so different. The Patagonia area is amazing seeing the fjords and waterfalls.

Thank you for the heads-up. I am taking this cruise but it starts in Chile and ends in Argentina. I laughed when you said to bring clothes for cold weather. I am one of those people who brings a jacket when I go to Hawaii. Unless it's 85 degrees or higher, I am in a long sleeve.

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 Жыл бұрын

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!!!

Great video and very helpful. We are on the exact itinerary in a couple weeks and would like to know how to pack for the weather and activities. Any chance you could respond or do a video that would help us? The weather varies so greatly.

@TheWeekendCruiser Жыл бұрын

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.

@TheWeekendCruiser Жыл бұрын

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.

Hey there! You know, this is something I have been thinking a lot about too! Just got back from a Greek island cruise and am worried the video will be similar. When you mention you want to see the tours, can you elaborate on what you mean? Want to ensure I do a better job on the Greek Island's video than I did here. Open too all suggestions :-)
