My first inclination would not be to visit the Cruises forum. To me, the Cruises forum conjures up images of palm trees and buffets and swimming pools on the top of a Princess megaship.
I'd probably post in TravelBuzz, and my question would probably either go unanswered or get a cursory "Huh, interesting, but no idea" post from one or two other people.
Is that the best FlyerTalk can do?
But at this point, no one has seriously suggested closing the Antarctica forum, so we're sort of arguing semantics here. I was simply using it as an example.
I have the same thoughts concerning the Cruises forum (but have never actually viewed it). I would not go there to find information about Antarctica.
