Celebrity to South America

[baypeople]

We are traveling on Celebrity's Infinity to South America in December. Have you done this trip? Any hints about types of clothing for the portion of the trip that goes around the horn? Any shore excursions that are musts?

Howdy baypeople!

Thank you so very much for your post concerning South America. However, you have posted on the forum where members find the "How to ..." type of information for using Cruise Critic's software on avatars, signatures, countdown clocks or tickers, attaching pictures, etc. It is not the place for your type of post and the information you seek is off topic here.

Take layered clothing and rain gear. You will go through warm weather at each end and cold windy weather in the middle.

I have cruised from Valparaiso to Buenos Aires which is a similar itinerary as yours.

 

Expect warm temperatures (likely 80's) in both of these ports but as you go south then it will get much cooler. It could be cloudy and rainy as you go south or just cloud or just cool. Yes, be prepared to bring clothing so you can layer. I would bring a pullover hat, gloves, raingear, sweater, and pants and jacket to keep you warm. Again, if it starts to get wamer you can remove some of the items.

 

Many of the areas that you will see in South America are beautiful.

Dear Keith

 

We did this cruise on the Infinity in 2005 and loved it.

Dress in layers - footwear - runners OK with good warm socks

- I wore cords and bought a pair of leotards to go underneath for the colder ports of Ushasia & Port Stanley

- jacket - took my regular fall jacket (I live on the west coast so do not own winter coats) with a sweatshirt & sweater to go underneath.

 

If you would like a copy of my review of this cruise & also of the private guides we used - which were all excellent - just e-mail me
