Having just retuned from a cruise to Canada on the Marco Polo and after reading some of the reviews on here i felt i should pass comment about our trip. Embarcation went smoothly and without any problems, for the age of the ship our cabin 511 was spacious and had plenty of storage space, the cabin steward was pleasent and kept it spotless. The rest of the ship to was spotless ,but then they were cleaning it all the time.The bar staff and all the waiters were frendly and very pleasent, drinks on board were reasonably priced, a coffee in the lounges was £1.70 although you could get it for free in the bistro all day, and cocktails a resonable £3.05.

Again the dinning room staff could not do enough for you, there was six courses on the menu and you could have as much food as you wished, our only criticism is it could sometimes have been hotter, some of the things we did not care for but that was our choise, there was buffet breackfast with all you could want and eggs done while you wated, the bistro was again good but it did get a little crowded but if you waited a short while it did quieten down.The trips were good and we found again resonably priced against some other cruise lines we have used There were snags such as seating when at sea but we did always manage to find some where to sit.

The entertainment was good and varied, the shows on the other hand could have been better. Disembaraction went well, yes we did have to vacate our cabins by 7am but that is normal on most cruise lines. All in all and for the price we paid we were well pleased, we have travelled on Marco Polo before and will again ,its not 5 star but take into consideration what you pay and its extreamly good value for money
