Mahe - Seychelles expedition cruise
The ship developed a significant electrical fault in Reunion. Not happy! All pax were transferred to hotels - the capt advising the ship was under repair. We spent yet another day away from the ship - two full days of the itinerary were lost. Eventually weset sail with a modified itinerary. Unfortunately we will never know what we missed out on in Madagascar that destination being the main attraction for this cruise. One wonders if the age and condition of Discoverer requires more frequent maintenance.
Despite the disappointment and shaky start the service crew were very attentive, especially the bar staff. The Butler was a true gentlemen and was always around to help. The interior of the ship was adequate since new floor coverings and furniture was provided in October 2016. The cabins were ok, but showing signs of wear and tear, not that it bothered us.
The cabin attendant did a great job. Serviced twice a day. The butler always restocked the fridge and was on hand to assist. We don't need bath sheets - large towels will do.
