Shore excursions to the various islands were great, especially the ferry to St. Johns Virgin Island and tour of the National Park there. I greatly enjoyed the steam train-vineyard tour in Montevideo. The ship was nice, big, had all the amenities. Some challenges with 2 passengers in Uruguay caused a major delay and great consternation on the part of many passengers in Buenos Aires - word to the wise, plan to stay overnight when you arrive in your disembarkation port. That way, if ship is delayed for any reason, your plans are secure. It helped us not to have to scurry around hunting for new flights and hotels since we weren't departing until the next morning and had our hotel booked before we sailed..
