I thoroughly enjoyed reading your in-depth critique of Vista. We sail on Vista in two weeks (Panama Canal - north). Thank You! I really appreciate all the time you took in your posts.

When aboard Marina in February for the Santiago to Buenos Aires trip, we saw many whales and birds almost daily. Of course, we lucked out and were able to disembark in Port Stanley so enjoyed LOTS of penguins and other birds on our excursion. Overall, I would highly recommend Oceania Marina for many reasons, but especially the quality of the excursion staff they put together for this itinerary…..simply the best. But don’t be disappointed if you have to miss a port for safety reasons. This is not an easy part of the world to explore and they have to take in to account the agility of the passengers.

Thanks. Taking your advice for sure. Enjoy your last week down there.

Wow! No Drake's Lake this trip. Continued safe travels to you all, and really sorry they cancelled Port Stanley. I'm braced to probably miss it too on Feb 25. Did you all bring your own motion sickness remedies or is Marina handing them out? One more trip to CVS if not. Thanks so much for posting while aboard....it is very helpful for those of us on the next segment. Cheers, Frank

Service was excellent in Red Ginger both times we ate there. We were even able to make the 9:30 show the other night. Red Ginger has been available for “day-of” reservations. No luck with Tuscan yet, but they do maintain a wait list and will notify you if they receive a cancellation.

Thanks for all the posts to help generate some more excitement. We board tomorrow and are camped out in Little Havana and enjoying Miami for a couple of days. Red Ginger tomorrow night!! Thrilled they added it to the small ships. We’ve only been on Marina and Riviera lately. Safe travels home y’all.
