My husband and I recently returned from a wonderful cruise around the Baltic on the Marco Polo.
I had great reservations because of reviews I had read and almost made a decision to cancel the trip. How wrong I would have been so don’t take all the negative comments too seriously.
This trip provided great value for money. Sure, it’s not a five star ship but was more than adequate. I would suggest we had one of the smallest cabins on the ship, which I wouldn’t recommend – but even that worked out ok by only using the cabin to sleep and having the right attitude. In fact, we were located off the corridors and found cabin 249 was relatively quiet. (We did choose to sleep with earplugs though and these worked a treat).
We went for the cheap option here. This cabin is tiny - the smallest we have ever had but as long as we stayed organise we were ok as we only slept there and came back to change for dinner. I think it was a lot quieter than many though - being off the long corridors and hidden away was good.
