Approaching Ushuaia |
Because another cruise ship
and an Argentinean submarine
were docked at the pier, the
Star Princess had to
unexpectedly use tenders,
for which advance
arrangements had not been
made. After a lengthy
delay, passengers finally
got ashore.
Fortunately sunset was near
11 PM, so even tours which
ended at 2 hours late at 9
PM still had daylight. |
