    “the different Argentine ports unified criteria, which means the possibility to promote cruise activity in the whole of Argentine Patagonia”, and was interpreted by the cruise industry as a strong signal of confidence and reliability.”

    So do we take it that all the other ports will no be able to provide sewage services such as Ushuaia has (NOT).

    Don't forget the saying “You can't have a shit in Ushuaia” © ChrisR 2013.

    However I would expect that they are all fully paid up members of 'TWATS' The Worldwide Arsonist Tyre Society © Pete Bog 2014.

    Once visited, never seen again!

    No cruise ship should 'visit' argieland. argieland is an illegitimate pariah. Remember that it WANTS isolation. Wherever you are in the world, contact local cruise companies. NO stops in argieland. NO argie passengers (probably terrorists). Argieland breaches international law and the UN Charter every day.

    Interesting that none of the cruise-liners are Argentine owned.

    I suspect that has more to do with the likelihood of TMBOA 'expropriating' any ship into the argie 'Navy'.

    I mean, they are cruisers, are they not?

    :o)

    Are you even mildly aware of the nonsense you have posted? I would say your writing is “childish” but I do not want to offend children.
    ”No cruise ship should 'visit' argieland (which) is an illegitimate pariah.” (Wow, we have succeeded in being illegitimate besides being a pariah!!).
    “Remember that it WANTS isolation.” (Nothing further than the truth. Argentina happily relates to the world but refuses the old, unequal neo-colonialist ways).
    “NO argie passengers--probably terrorists.” (Now this is the cherry on the cake. Name some of them please).
    “Argieland breaches international law and the UN Charter every day.” (What-are-you-talking about????).
    Finally, have you taken the time to read the above article? I believe it talks about yet an increase in visitors to Ushuaia. So you are pissing against the Patagonia wind--will end up soaked!

    Hopeless.

    Punta Arenas is by far a better choice, with the Nao Victoria Museum and historical district of the city, why would anyone waste their time in Argentina?
    Friendly people, non-existent crime, pro-Falklands attitude and excellent tourist facilities... Why waste your time in Argentina?
