Buenos Aires embarkation - Azamara Journey

[gandntravelers]

We arrive in Buenos Aires on Jan 29, 2012 at 9:15am. We're considering an independent tour prior to embarkation at 6 pm, but are unsure how long getting through customs and immigration will take at the airport, followed by security at the pier. Azamara advises to be on the ship no later than 4:30pm - will we have enough time for a 4 hour tour? Any advice?

Hi! We are coming in for the same cruise at 9:15am too! Are you on the AA flight from DFW? I will be checking in here as we are needing the same info.

BTW I am Dianne from Vancouver Island. My DH is David. Have you signed onto the roll call and joined the meet and mingle party?

Hello mains_dream ---- Yes, we are on AA flight 997 from DFW to Buenos Aires. We (Gary and Nancy) just yesterday registered on CC. We have joined the meet and greet (appears to be 31 people in the group to-date). We will sign-in on the roll call as well. We live in the Dallas area.

Hi Nancy,

 

We arrive in Dallas at 2:15pm. Do you have any suggestions for us of what we can see and do for a couple of hours near the airport. Here is my email. mains_dream@yahoo.com I would like to get to know you better before we cruise.

I just returned from an Azamara cruise departing from BA and I would say you would have plenty of time. Immigration etc. did not take long at all.

I am in and out of Buenos Aires every month, suggest you use "Susana Epel, susachab@gmail.com 5411 15 4478 5690, she will meet you at the Ship and make sure you have a great B/A experience, and deliver you back to the Airport. You will not be disappointed:)

We have booked Susana for Jan 29th to pick us at the hotel and take us to San Telmo before dropping us at the port.

We had a full day after disembarking with Carina - she charged a lot less than Susana and was totally awesome!!!

 

She met us at 9:30 am at the cafe in BA with a 15 seater and a fantastic driver - she chatted with us all to plot out the itinerary for 1/2 hour and then off we went. She took 4 of us to the airport for 4 pm and 2 of us to a hotel before going to the airport. We saw EVERYTHING and took a wooden subways for part of the adventure. We went to the mausoleum where Evita is buried and had an empanada lunch in the "tango" district. She showed us the whole city including some favelas...which were very unusual. The charge was $350 for the day for 5 of us with transfers.
