Let me know if you have any questions about cruising to Antarctica, this trip in particular (22 Day South America and Antarctica) or the Holland America Oosterdam! I’ll do my best to answer them.
I want to know how rough the sea is at the horn of SA, you will have to let us know first hand! I have heard it is always rough, but not sure.
@@Kellman9 I will DEFINITELY let you know, and get video if I can as well! I hear it can either be the “Drake Lake” and clear as glass, or the “Drake Snake” and be a wild ride! Fingers crossed for the lake!
What kind of insurance did you buy for this cruise? I usually buy HAL’s Platinun Cancel for any reason insurance but there’s only a $75,000 allowance for emergency evacuation. Being evacuated from the Antartica, whether you’re on land or at sea, is frightfully expensive .
Dee: thank you for the update on your upcoming adventures! I just came back from Ensenada, Mexico aboard the Carnival Radiance. Have fun in South America and Antarctica!
Thank you @edwinojedis - my first update from the ship is online-we had one heck of a first day! ruclips.net/video/yR9hO3ZEHfk/видео.htmlsi=fa0dz58bmtuphTCU
Fun to have a RUclips to watch. We love HAL. Cannot wait to see your photos. ❤ They look great already on CC.
Thank you Denise & Howie! There will mot definitely be more photos-I have 4 cameras with me! I’m on the ship, super easy embarkation in San Antonio today, and I’m about to go and blog a bit on Cruise Critic! ❤
Exciting! I’ll be on the sister ship Zuiderdam for a bucket list trip (TA) Are you an artist? I see the art behind you.
Not an artist, but someone who appreciates art. When I travel, I often look for local watercolor artists. I’d rather support them and bring their art home with me than bring a typical souvenir!
Hi Dee: I’ll be going on the December 15, 2024 sailing for this same cruise on MS OOSTERDAM. I was wondering what camera and lenses you used and also what you used for your videos. I’m enjoying your videos very much as I am
Counting down the days to the cruise. Thank you so much for posting these videos. They’re so inspiring.
For my Nikon D500 I used two zooms that got me from a very wide angle all the way up to 300mm. I wish I had a longer lens for much of Antarctica. For videos I used my iPhone 14 Max Plus and the DJI Osmo Pocket 3
@@CruisingWithDeeThank you so much for this info. I’ll bring my 100-500mm lens in that case! Even though it’s so heavy!
Here’s a link to the first vlog from the ship! We had a VERY interesting embarkation day!: ruclips.net/video/yR9hO3ZEHfk/видео.htmlsi=BN2AnYkrhuGXbAVU
This is so exciting! I am excited to watch your upcoming content! Safe travels!🎉🎉🎉❤
Thank you so much!
This is wonderful!! I’m thinking of doing the same cruise with HAL this winter. If you don’t mind me asking, how did you end up getting a free inside room? Thanks for sharing your experience and I’ll be watching your series. I have also subscribed.
Thanks so much for the subscription; it really helps us out! So…the crazy thing is we really don’t know why we were offered the free inside room. Casino list sharing from Carnival? Demographic HAL wants to see on the ship (slightly younger?). We don’t know and they didn’t tell us! We sadly have not received further offers for free rooms.
I received an email for free inside staterooms yesterday! I don’t gamble at all. I looked at the sailings they were offering and they were the ones that had a lot of unsold staterooms. There’s one for South America and Antartica departing Dec 15. I called today and to upgrade to balcony with an unobstructed view, taxes, port fees and CFAR platinum insurance was only a total of CDN $4121!! Amazing deal!! I haven’t purchased it yet because I need to buy emergency evacuation insurance. HAL only includes up to $75,000 for it in their CFAR insurance and that’s just not going to be enough. Did you purchase additional emergency evacuation insurance for this cruise?
Following your posts on Cruise Critic. We get on the ship in Buenos Aires when you disembark. Have a great cruise!
Thanks, you too!
I just subscribed! Just a heads up that Oosterdam is pronounced with a long O. 🙂
Thank you and big THANK YOU on the ship pronunciation! 💜
How do we find out which ports are tendered? It’s not listed on the itinerary.
You can research; many ports in this part of the world are tender ports as they are smaller ports. We knew beforehand from reading blogs and looking at videos of people who had done the same cruise before us.
@@CruisingWithDee Thanks for responding. It’s challenging to make independent shore excursions when the ship might not make a scheduled stop. Worse than that, if tendering is very slow due to weather and guests with ship booked excursions getting priority. We had that happen to us in March on our Australian cruise. Can you offer any recommendations? That would really be appreciated. Thanks!
