Antarctica cruise review: Christmas 2018 aboard MV Plancius

The ship Captain and his crew were absolutely wonderful. They put up with the passenger's silly questions with good humour and even got into the spirit of things even though they have been to Antarctica hundreds of times.What I loved best of all was that when a whale was spotted, the Captain actually stopped the ship and turned it around so that we could have a better look! Utterly fantastic! The hotel staff, particularly Zuzanna and Bobi we so very nice. Even today, her "good morning, good morning, my favorite guests" rings loudly in my ears!
