Dreamed about going to Antarctica for years. Dreams do come true! Antarctica is the most beautiful place I've ever been. South Georgia was like being inside a David Attenborough wildlife documentary - never seen anything like it in my life - just superb. However, when I booked it, it was an English speaking voyage, and it then later became a bi-lingual voyage as half the passengers were German speaking. Most of the time they had German lectures in the dining room or a German translation of an English lecture. BUT, sometimes their guide would talk in the lounge where we all were and we couldn't understand and we were asked to be quiet, which I thought was very rude. They should have booked a German speaking voyage, not turn an English one into a bi-lingual one. Beware!
