15 Days at sea, countless meals later, and a whole lot of sightseeing adds up to what you see below. Unlike my usual trips, I didn't have a lot of time in each South American port, but whatever time I did spend ends up being a snapshot of each location. Think of this trip as a "tasting menu", so if you decide to go, you'll get a feel of what it's like.
For the most part, the countries seem prettier than Mexico, and the tourist traps are pretty mild. The touristy snapshot places are fairly safe, given the amount of police that patrol the plazas, famous landmarks and open air markets that exist in every stop. I think they just figured that safe tourists are good for business -- what a concept?
When I wasn't out on land, I ended playing A LOT of trivia, drawing games, and basically trying to win prizes to keep myself occupied on the ship. I even read 3 books cover to cover, just because they had a library aboard. But make no mistake -- living on cruise ship time is a whole other life, where the clock can pass quite quickly if you don't look around. That, and the booze on the sea days make the journey that much smoother in rocky waters... ;)
