Antarctica cruise review: Our once in a lifetime cruise

Highlights: Chinstrap Penguin, Gentoo Penguin, Humpback Whale, Leopard Seal, Weddell Seal, Hiking

Terrillyn and I have each reviewed our trip video separately and together numerous times since coming home. It is if we do not want the trip to be over. To say that it exceeded our expectations is an understatement. The care that the expedition crew took helping me boarding and deboarding the Zodiacs on uneven surfaces with an unstable knee in need of a replacement was over and above my expectation. The hotel, bar, and restaurant crews on board were also attentive, professional, and there at every opportunity to help you. The Expedition Crew were very knowledgeable and eager to share their education with you with every question that you had. This was a World Class Expedition and I am glad that we were able to take part. Thank you again.
