Were Swoop right to recommend Aurora Expeditions?

Yes

Tell us about Zodiac excursions

These were fun! I was always curious about how people sat on the sides w/o falling out until I learned that there are ropes to hold onto. My most memorable cruise was the one where we actually "touched" Antarctica. I hadn't planned on going but was talked into it by 2 team members who had one of the drivers take me over and bring me right back. I had the Zodiac all to myself!

Tell us about the expedition team

I must give a "shout out" to Aleisha, CeeCee, Dan, Thomas, Tom, and Jeff. I enjoyed the lectures re glaciers and penguin counting.

Tell us about the Greg Mortimer

The ship was excellent. No issues w/cabin or service. The food for the most part was great. Yes, I would sail the GM again!

Tell us about Santiago

What a beautiful city! The highlight for me was the Sky Tower, but the winery and city tour were also good. I would have liked to walk around the bohemian neighborhood.

Something Else?

Would highly recommend Aurora and the GM to future travelers!!

Do you have any recommendations for Swoop, or feedback about the team?

Thank you for preparing a wonderful trip for me!

How prepared and excited for Antarctica did you feel?

I was excited about sailing through the Drake Passage. However, we sailed through the "Drake Lake" rather than the "Drake Shake", which I was looking forward to.
