This cruise was part of a 12 day holiday of which 7 nights were on La Marguerite. We booked on a fly free cabin upgrade so decided to splurge and book the largest suite. Huge king bed, shame about the dark platform that it sat on as I have an enormous bruise... I took to placing something white on it to remind myself it was there! The cabin was huge with excellent storage and housekeeping were happy to bring more hangers if requested. The rooms were kept immaculate by the housekeeping staff. Bathroom had a spa bath although we had little time to use it.

Dining room was pleasant and we enjoyed sharing tables with fellow passengers. Breakfast was varied, lunch plenty of salad options, nice soup. Dinners there was plenty of variety and generally the standard was good. We are very spoilt when it comes to wine and found the complimentary wines were adequate but not fantastic. The complimentary cocktails each night all tasted much the same and I wished we had brought a bottle of good gin duty free! I was particularly pleased that hand sanitiser was compulsory for all guests and staff entering the dining area and this helps against any gastro bugs...well done!

The excursions were really great, the organisation was excellent and the local guides were terrific. We had a really good variety of experiences which were not too energetic given the heat is fairly intense. Cold water was freely available and welcome cold drinks and towels greeted us on return to the ship. The staff were fantastic are helping some of the passengers who had less mobility, as it was an age group from early 50"ies plus that was well done.

Excellent comfort and maintenance. Just watch the platform the bed is on... perfect for shin bruising in the dark!
