Our flight to Buenos Aires came in at 7:20 in the morning and we had been told the first Princess transport to the cruise terminal wouldn't happen until 9:30 or 10:00.
When we arrived at Buenos Aires International Airport, we found that contrary to what was expected, many other cruisers we arriving early too.
As a result, Princess decided to give us a free bus tour of the city while we waited for our staterooms to be cleaned.
This was great as I had wondered how I was going to see the city when I had an out-of-town excursion booked for the next day in port.
On our two-and-a-half hour bus tour of Buenos Aires we visited several neighborhoods and saw many examples of both new and historical architecture.
The only downside was that we couldn't control where we went nor get out and visit any in great detail.
Here are some examples of what we saw.
