UWC Day 027 – Buenos Aires, Argentina – Iguazú Falls
One of my bucket list items and literally the reason I’m on this Ultimate World Cruise. Ever since my first ride on Soarin Around the World at Epcot (Disney World), I’ve wanted to go to Iguazú Falls, and boy it did NOT disappoint! I may have shed a tear or two as we walked in,…

Updated Jan 10, 2024 with pics and details. Literally thousands of Sea Lions, awesome day, with quite an adventure and trek to get out to the island. Would definitely come back to Uruguay and felt like we only got a very quick taste. Arrival and Port Upon waking up, I went topside to find that…

UWC Day 023 – Copacabana Beach, Brazil – New Years Fireworks Off the Coast
Started the new year off the coast of Copacabana Beach in Rio, Brazil. Incredible views and had some prime real estate to enjoy the show and ring in the new year. New Years Fireworks Wandered around the ship looking for a perfect spot and honestly should’ve stuck with my gut and stayed on deck 5…

UWC Day 021 – Cruising Day
Update (1:30am): Added running and moon photos. Interesting day at sea, lots of logistics and planning (and being flexible). Back to being super muggy outside, but day 1 of virtual dopey races.

UWC Day 019 – Recife, Brazil – Historic Olinda and Recife
Bus tour to Olinda, and around Recife. Super early start time and it was so incredibly hot and humid but beautiful spaces. Overall, a pretty fun day and another interesting port. Early Morning Start On the excursion ticket, it had the same tour operator as the one in Fortaleza, so I wasn’t entirely sure about…

UWC Day 018 – Cruising Down the Brazilian Coast
Chill day catching up on some panoramic photos from yesterday, and some storage management for my laptop, while enjoying some live music onboard. Equator Ceremony A couple days late but there was an equator ceremony this afternoon (my first thing when I woke up). Unlike other programming on other days, it seemed like the entire…
