Currently 63 degrees on my balcony. 70 in the cabin. Easy enough to open the balcony door if I want it cooler. Besides waterproof, insulated, hooded rain jacket, I also have one of these: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07WQW472G gloves, and rechargeable hand warmers. Weather Channel still is saying snow in Ushuaia - 1-3 inches - high of 36, low of 29. Winds 15-25 No, I didn't bring waterproof pants, or ski bibs, -
Many have been wearing shorts and tee shirts. I think that's about to end. My cabin stays about 70 so far. It was about 75 when I boarded. If the forecast holds, It will snow in Ushuaia. The only solution is to pack layers and have somewhere in there a waterproof/windproof layer. The weather can do anything. OTOH, this is only the 2nd day of the cruise - we'll see. It will be warm to hot again before we get back to Buenos Aires.

The first night's supper in Tuscan Grille - I thought it was VERY good. The steak was a little overcooked but still tasty.

I don't recall anything like that and must not been impressed enough to take a picture. There was a slope but not huge. Luggage had an easy ride. Not sure what the did with wheel chairs - I don't know that I've seen any. Oooo. I'm hearing thunder.

Well it's not doing any better uploading to CC. Guess it's happy hour and I'll try again later.

Taking forever for some pictures from yesterday to download, meanwhile here are some from Celia's presentation today. Don't miss any of them. https://www.celiagarland.com/

Yes. All kinds of things for sale from tee shirts to sunglasses to liquor. And all kinds of crap. Many different vendors. Supposed to show the Superbowl all over the ship tonight. I think even in the staterooms

as reported by others, I can confirm the casino does not open the first day.

It was cheaper for me to upgrade before the cruise, plus I got a small discount based on status. Right now I can make (my phone thinks) internet calls, but I haven't tried. Maybe manana.

I think a gift. I'm planning on taking it, anyway. I think the umbrella, too. But I'll ask my steward, first. I upgraded to the premium. Jury is still out on if it is worth it

Time for more practice... LOOK, a WHALE! Damn, I missed it. LOOK, a PENGUIN! Damn, I missed it. 🤣
-
No USB ports in the cabins that I noticed, but I do bring my own, just in case.
-
Compare and contrast to the sluggish ship Internet which doesn't like anything. But it gets the job done, eventually, for now. 🙂 I do have other options for anywhere with land based cell service (aka ports).

Finally underway - I finally believe this cruise is going to happen.
-
On the ship! Had a double shot coffee - that should keep me going for a while. Did muster - very easy. Luggage made it to my cabin. After I unpack some, I think it's Happy Hour.

Hmmm. Port WiFi doesn't like VPN .. Be careful.
-
There is free, FAST, Internet at the port. BYO VPN.

Taxi from the hotel to port was 2000 pesos. Is that good or bad? The correct answer is I don't care. There is shipping at the port for all kinds of junk including tee shirts! 3 for $30. Close enough to be disposable. Now all I need to find is a decent penguin tee shirt for a present. If nothing else I'll find one one Amazon. 😉
