I went on a 22-day cruise round South America and Antarctica for $114 a day. Listed here are 10 issues that stunned me.

Final however not least, I used to be somewhat stunned my husband and I had been nonetheless head over heels in love after a 22-day journey.

Three weeks of sharing a small room collectively did not tear us aside. 

Our important challenge was once we generally ran into one another whereas trying to find our binoculars once we noticed a whale or penguins off our stateroom’s veranda.

Since this was a protracted voyage, we shortly obtained right into a routine and I feel that helped. I normally awakened sooner than my husband, so I would put a jacket over my pajamas, get a cup of espresso, and head out on the deck (climate allowing) to admire the panorama within the morning gentle.

At night time, if there was a fancier gala dinner, we’d enable one another to bathe and prepare individually. Lastly, I all the time journey with an eye fixed masks and ear plugs, so when my husband wished to remain as much as watch a film, I would cuddle up with considered one of my newly bought stuffed penguins and fall proper to sleep.
