joybook Posted April 9, 2015 #2 Share Posted April 9, 2015 We were in Ushuaia last Christmas Day on the Golden Princess and the ship's excursions were operating. We went on one.:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Homosassa Posted April 9, 2015 #3 Share Posted April 9, 2015 Punta Arenas (Costa Rica) is not a get off the ship and walk around port so unless there are ship's tours available, I don't know why you would be schedules on Christmas to dock there. This is a port that involved long drives to get to any tourist sites and there is only a two lane highway where the average speed is about 35 mph. I wouldn't chance arranging a private tour in this port and missing the ship. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Homosassa Posted April 9, 2015 #5 Share Posted April 9, 2015 OK, I thought there might be. That is why I specified Costa Rica in my reply. There was a Princess ship docked there when we passed by last year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jkocpa Posted April 9, 2015 #6 Share Posted April 9, 2015 We were in Punta Arenas Chile on Christmas Day 2013 and we went on a penguin excursion. The excursion was awesome but nothing in the town was really open. Lots of excursions though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

seattlec5 Posted April 10, 2015 #8 Share Posted April 10, 2015 hi,sorry i forgot there are 2 punta arenas,my one is in chile,cheers brian. Actually there is only one Punta Arenas (two words) which is in southern Chile. There is a town called Puntarenas (one word) in Costa Rica. The pronunciation is very different when you consider the one word vs. two name. Which place are you asking about? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cougaraz Posted April 10, 2015 #9 Share Posted April 10, 2015 I was in Punta Arenas on Christmas Eve 2014 and Ushuaia on Christmas Day 2014, ship tours were operating in both places, but only a limited number of shops were open, as one might expect.
