Whereas the Antarctica forum is what to do/see/eat when you're actually there, not on the boat ride.
While naturally the topics in the cruise forum focus on the ships themselves there are often others about the ports of call and destinations.
For that matter the Europe rail forum doesn't just focus on trains and nothing else but also takes in the wider scope of travelling by train and destinations, sights, etc and in the same way I think the cruise forum would be the most appropriate alternate forum for Antartica topis since that's the mode of transportation almost everyone uses to visit that continent.
Maybe it would be your second hunch were such a consolidation to be made.
