Anyway, at the rate we are losing money, why not spend it and enjoy? ;) Hi Jerzy,

Our cruise on a Scorpio boat through the Patagonian passages which felt very expensive at the time, now appears rather less so. Does your price also include unlimited free service of top shelf alcohol, served on chunks of icebergs? Wow!

The normal price for this boat $7,200 for the same type of cabin. Not a fantastic deal but good enough for us to bite. There are more options available November, December, January, February when there are more departures. Hi Fred,

When we went the lower balconies were completely empty and there were five other people at our balcony. I didn't really feel very crowded at that spot. We had gone later in the day to catch the sunset (which we missed, due to a large bank of clouds) so maybe all the hordes had left. Most of the pictures from the slideshow are from the boat trip we took to Spegazzini, Uppsala, and Onelli. The boat was VERY, VERY crowded, but we did manage to get some of our best pictures.
