What is the best company to travel to Antarctica with? What’s the best ship, or time of year? How do you know if you’ll see Emperor penguins?

With an overwhelming amount of information about travelling to Antarctica on the internet, it seems like an easy way to narrow down your options is to ask other people on the internet (in FB groups or Lonely Planet travel forums, etc) what they recommend based on their experience when travelling there.
