Short cruise
Marco Polo Cruise Review by Lyian
- Sail Date: Aug 2017
- Destination: the British Isles & Western Europe
Cabin was clean and comfortable but I wouldn't want to be on for a long cruise 14+ nights as wardrobe space was at a minimum.
There was a good range of public areas and bars. The accommodation round the pool was good with a bar and outdoor grill. The buffet restaurant was spoiled by the smokers right outside the door. If you were entering from outside you had to run the gauntlet through the smoke.
All in all the cruise was enjoyable but what spoiled it for us was the crew. They were unhelpful, unfriendly and down right rude at times. From reception to shops and bars you hardly got smile let alone an acknowledgement. No one greeted you or smiled as you arrived to be served or when you passed them in the corridor. Maybe we are just spoiled by the fantastic crews on board Fred Olsen cruise lines who are happy to meet you, remember you by name and are pleasant, smiley and engaging.

No problems
Port & Shore Excursion Reviews
Nice wee town with a variety of shops and local history information
Nice town in fantastic setting but steep walk to main street.
Great for Glasgow but not a pretty town
Unusual town with picturesque houses. New buildings are in keeping with the older architecture.
