Creator's Key Takeaways

this trip ranks as the very best travel experience we've ever had

the entire boarding process in fact that entire evening was fantastic except for one thing which was the mustard drill

the food on cruise lines have been kind of really hit and miss I will tell you that dinners in the dining room was easily some of the best we've had at Sea

Antarctica itself which absolutely fully without any uh hyperbole exceeded our wildest expectations

Creator's Tips & Advice

If you're going to go across the Drake Passage and you are susceptible to motion sickness, go on and have your patches on before you even get to the Drake.
Make sure to bring those 220 to 110 adapters for the Atlas ships.
If you're contemplating doing a cruise that is having Landings, keep in mind you'll be hiking on snow often where you do not have a very sure footing.

Motion sickness on Drake PassageUse motion sickness patches before crossing the Drake Passage.

These are what are in our bags every time we cruise or travel to Europe. They come in an affordable six pack which you can find at this link: https://amzn.to/44ixS0U Strongman Tools Strong Magnetic Hooks—A couple of these 6-pack set of hooks are always with us when we cruise. Each individual hook can hold 30 lbs of weight and is ideal for hanging coats, hats, and even the hangings shelves described below. Get your set of these useful magnetic hooks at this link: https://amzn.to/3UDrVbJ Whitmor 5 Section Closet Organizer—Unfortunately, drawer and shelf space are sometimes limited in some cruise cabins. That’s why we always bring at least one of these inexpensive closet organizers which gives us plenty of room for our folded clothes. We’ll usually use a couple of magnetic hooks described above to hang these from the ceiling in the corner of our room. Here’s the link where you can get yours: https://amzn.to/3w3GvQn Our Recommended Camera Gear DJI Osmo Pocket 3--You’ll usually see Tracey using this in almost all of our videos.
