My husband and I are getting ready to take the NCL Crown around South America. I was wondering where I can get information on which excursions are worth taking and/or other alternatives for exploring on our port stops.

Welcome to CLF.

Don't forget to go to the "Introduction" section and introduce yourself.

Also stop by the NCL board.

Welcome to CLF as KK says!!

Many of us have cruised around South America, I did Rio de Janiero to Valpariso (Santiago). We were on the Amsterdam but I am sure NCL offers similar excursions. I may have a name of guides that we used in Buenos Aries and Uruguay if you are interested!
If you'd let us know which ports you will be in and the excursions you are looking at, we should be able to provide a bit of insight!!

Does anyone know the best month to go on a South American cruise. We always travel over Thanksgiving. Am wondering if that would be a good time to go.
