Tell us about Zodiac excursions
Extremely efficient.
Tell us about the expedition team
All knowledgeable and friendly - John in the mud room was always fun - everyone was well trained.
Tell us about the Silver Endeavour
Perfect for an expedition trip. Would have liked a bit more entertainment - ie games or trivia
Do you have any tips or advice for other people planning a trip to Antarctica?
5 full days was perfect. Less would have been too few - more would have been too many. LOVED the bypass of the Drake Passage. A pre-arranged time to swap phots would have been muchly appreciated. Many of us planned to do that the last day before exiting the ship but then flight times changed and we missed the opportunity.
Has your experience changed your perspective in any way?
No
Do you have any recommendations for Swoop, or feedback about the team?
One small complaint - the people on land didn't really have too much idea of what was going on on the ship and vice versa. Even though double beds were requested at the booking - all hotel accommodations had us in a king bed and there was a lot of switching around because of that even though we requested at each location PRIOR to arriving. And again - the hotel Cabo de Hornos bar should have been open from early afternoon to accommodate new friendships and last moment get togethers with new friends. A pre flight orientation in Santiago or Punta Arenas would be greatly appreciated.
How prepared and excited for Antarctica did you feel?
There was confusion on the flight back to Punta Arenas as to what we should do with the boots and pants, Also a warning about saving room for the parka and backpacks might have been more helpful.
