I joined a 3-island trip \ud83e\udd23, December 16, 2022 - January 4, 2023. I absolutely love the snow-capped mountains and icebergs! That shade of blue is absolutely gorgeous! Especially that particular blue is so rare to see; even the sky and the sea can't compare to that incredibly clear blue.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Going to any penguin breeding ground is a shock, whether it's the smell or the number of penguins \ud83e\udd23 The ones with penguin highways are the cutest \ud83e\udd79 Seeing them crawling around is really funny, watching them fight and bicker on that road can be a whole day's entertainment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I have not been on other cruises before, Ocean Victory is not big but it has a lot of facilities, even a mill bar and Jacuzzi. Even on sea days, there are plenty of talks to attend and a snack corner\/bar to eat at. \ud83e\udd23The talks are very easy to listen to, the ppt is full of pictures, so you can catch up with what they are saying, and even raise your hand to stop them from explaining. The guides don't mind if you ask, they are welcome.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The itinerary was even better! This time, we were able to go to so many islands, all of them were good days with no cuts. Some guides said that we could go there in color, but some of them have only been there for a few times. The captain even found a good seat for us, full of experience! <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The most unforgettable thing is the snow! I've never traveled much to see snow. The first time I witnessed snowfall, I was so excited and moved! I immediately rushed to the deck to take pictures of the snow. Facing the roomate in Europe which is so calm when snow falls, I immediately turned into a small boy \ud83e\udd23 explained to her that Hong Kong is a tropical area and I don't have the chance to see snow and I haven't been to a place where snow falls, and she instantly said go enjoy your showing dont stay inside. she totally felt my excitement! \ud83e\udd23\ud83d\ude39\ud83d\ude39\ud83d\ude39<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I would recommend going to Antarctica. Apart from the scenery and the animals, I think it's a good idea to go there when you have the chance because you don't know when it's going to disappear, and there's no reason not to go to such a special place!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But I am not afraid of not being able to communicate well, my English is not very good, as long as I have the courage to speak, they don't mind if we speak slowly\/repeat ourselves. I am not afraid of freezing. It's not freezing in Hong Kong, it's freezing in Antarctica, and on those freezing days, you can wear only a bottom shirt, a face shirt, a down jacket, a jacket, and a face mask. But it will be very windy, be mentally prepared for it \ud83e\udd23.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

There is a variety of sharing is I was on the boat in the Covid, I think it is really unique \ud83e\udd23 on the second day of the boat got up to feel the\u7028\u6652\u5622, body aches and headaches headache nasal nasal congestion feel to fever and so on and so forth. I brought a quick test and inserted it, but I didn't wash it for 2 minutes and immediately saw two lines of sunshine and a T bit extremely extremely dark color.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Asked me about my basic information, what's wrong with me, personal plague chaotic, she is very patient but is traveling to a good distance \ud83d\ude39 I show left a snapshot for her to see, everyone is helpless to laugh, I think they have not imagined so there are Covid patient \ud83d\ude39 the ship has to do pcr test, there are doctors and medication. It's not cheap, and you need to charge US dollars \ud83e\udd0c\ud83c\udffd Lucky to have insurance \ud83e\udd0c\ud83c\udffd\ud83e\udd0c\ud83c\udffd but the drugs are only for symptomatic relief, some of them don't work at all. You are not allowed to go out of the room on the 5th day, and you have to wear a mask on the 7th day after the 5th day. So basically everyone on board knows that it's my day!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Room attendance will send the menu and food in the room door, do not want to eat menu things can call to the front desk to talk about what you want to eat, they will try to arrange. Because of the isolation, I missed the poker party, and I said that I would be put under supervision first. But then someone knocked on the door, and the guide said they wanted to get me a live join party in the room, and they asked for some size to come and try it out! It was really a super surprise! I wanted to cry out over there, I was seriously ill and in a tired country, but they all tried to comfort and care for me...it was really warm, and I will remember it for a lifetime!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
