Boat to Puerto Williams

We were expecting something nicer to say the least. We bought the cheapest tickets for the Navimag ride to Puerto Natales and were pleasantly surpised at the comfortable common areas, rooms cleanliness of the ship and delicious food provided. This boat was a rude awakening. For over a day and a half we had a seat smaller than standard airplane seats. The seats were covered with a vinyl that was dirty and cracked. Within the cracks lived mountains of crumbs. The woolly blankets provided surely weren't, at least 20 black hairs decorated mine. Sleeping was difficult. An old woman behind us that resembled an overweight pig more than she did a person took up two seats and snored loud enough for everyone to listen all night and even at times during the day.
As far as the food served goes, if you like butter & bologna sandwiches for breakfast and spaghetti noodles with beans for lunch then it's your kind of ship.
And for the scenery- the reason we just HAD to take this overpriced ride. We saw a 3 foot blue area that was supposedly the back of a whale once. And may I mention nearly the entire journey it rained or was extremely cold on the top standing deck (the only place to view the water from). So to sum it up, no I did not care for that ride, and I'm sure not happy we payed over $300 to do it.
