Having breakfast and someone shouted ‘whale’ We all ran to the window and a family of three whales were right by the ship. It was the beginning of a mega day for whales. Best day of the trip!

Yes
Tell us about Zodiac excursions
Zodiac cruises were great and very well managed
Tell us about the expedition team
Expedition team were very knowledgable and friendly
Tell us about the Sylvia Earle
Beautiful ship. Amazing food. Cabin was perfect. Pool/Jacuzzi/Gym was closed for the last half of the trip due to the weather which was annoying when that was when we had the time to use the facilities. Understand pool/jacuzzi because they were outdoors but I could so have filled some time going to the gym
Do you have any tips or advice for other people planning a trip to Antarctica?
I’m not sure I would go right at the end of the season (last cruise). Not sure how much that impacted the decisions to cut Antarctica short.
Has your experience changed your perspective in any way?
I feel a bit disappointed that I didn’t get the full Antarctica experience bearing in mind how much the whole trip cost.
How prepared and excited for Antarctica did you feel?
I wasn’t prepared for the changes that were made. I was very excited initially but that was slightly bitter sweet with the changes that were made
