We are in the ship at the moment. We were told of the issue after we sailed- some passengers asked to go back to Ushuaia to disembark once it was clear South Georgia would be missed. Although the ship did return, they were told they would have to make their arrangements from Buenos Aries home and there would be no refund of cruise fare. Not surprisingly, no one got off- we were held to ransom by Seabourn.
We are now returning to Ushuaia a day early to beat a storm in the Drake passage.
The 7 days scheduled to/from/in South Georgia were spent going further in Antarctica- brilliant scenery, but did not come anywhere near compensating for what we missed.
Captain was virtually invisible- left Expedition team to explain issues whenever he could
Compensation of $1k each plus 15% is inadequate and we and others will be taking further action.
