this is actually how the smoothest you can get crossing the Drake

I'm going to go catch them so it's about 9:00 right now just at 9:00 I'm going to try and run and grab some breakfast real quick

I did trivia by myself and I got 12 out of 20 which is really not bad for playing solo

YouTube Video Descriptionโ†“

Welcome back to my 16-day cruise on the NCL Star! Today we are crossing the Drake Passage on our way to Antarctica after leaving Ushuaia the previous evening. The seas are a little rocky but according to the experts onboard, we are very lucky and the weather is about as calm as we could hope for our crossing! There are several theater presentations that I attend on various Antarctica and Penguin topics, and a setup in the Bliss Lounge with materials to review on our own and the experts available for questions. I wrapped up my evening with a delicious dinner in the main dining room and prepare to wake up VERY early the following morning for our arrival in Antarctica! #cruise #norwegiancruiseline #norwegianstar ---------------------------- Also follow me on: โญ๏ธ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/mer.cruises.solo?igsh=bDQ4Yzh6NnIwdjR5&utm_source=qr โญ๏ธ TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@mer.cruises.solo?_t=8iyjrVMz7ug&_r=1 โญ๏ธ Threads: https://www.threads.net/@mer.cruises.solo ๐Ÿ“ง Email: mer.cruises.solo@gmail.com ---------------------------- ๐ŸŽฌ Filmed with: ๐Ÿ“ธ Sony ZV-1F Camera ๐Ÿ“ฑ iPhone 14 Pro Max
