Silver Explorer Antarctic trips- has anyone ever not come back to Ushuaia a day early

Just curious, as when we did this trip we were told by skipper we had to leave Antarctica 24 hrs early due to a storm brewing in the Drake-we were a little surprised to find the weather not bad at all. Friend of mine messaged me today to say they too are having to head back to USH 24hrs early. I have also heard from others the same had happened to them,so I would be interested to hear if ANYONE had NOT had their trip cut short. No other reason than curiosity..

Now I know the Drake can be unpredictable, but it only ever seems to affect the home leg..never the outbound.....wondering if Silverseas are just using the wx as an excuse for a longer turnaround in USH..??

A reasonable explanation is that the ship must not miss the turnaround. (consider the consequences… )

Fwiw, we were back on time, but it was uber rough and the public areas were almost deserted.

We returned 12 hours early and the bonus was sailing up the channel in daylight.

We actually stayed longer to sit out a storm. It was then a very rough 24 hours in the Drake before the seas calmed. We arrived into Ushuaia about 7am.
