Magellan Review

Additional details
We chose this cruise because the dates fitted perfectly for us and we wanted to go to the fjords. The cruise and maritime website prior to embarkation was very useful and the information was received in a timely manner and was informative. The price of this cruise was very good.
I gave my review this title because of the reviews I read beforehand, although I always work on the basis that many people who review are either 'rants or ravers' however, I really have to say that it is beyond my comprehension how anyone can find anything about this ship that warrants a negative review!
My experience regarding embarkation was very good, not sure how it would be if it was raining as we didn't see any cover. Once at the ship we were very quickly processed. Staff took us to our cabin and we then went off for a drink. We were upgraded, our cabin was at the front of the ship and we like many felt vibration and movement and noticed this through to day 3. Having only ever being on bigger ships this was very noticeable to us.
Cabin Review
We were surprised at the size of the cabin and also very surprised at the size of the bathroom. The storage space was excellent, I had taken some additional coat hangers and needed to use them. The safe wasn't working when we arrived but was fixed quickly and the hairdryer wasn't great, but we managed, would be difficult for someone with long hair though! People have complained about the cabin walls being very thin (some folks complain about anything) we didn't find it a problem. The cabin was comfortable, although I would have loved a chair!
