Four of us boarded the Marco Polo at Bristol. Embarkation was smooth and swift and we waited briefly to be shown to our cabin. Once in our cabin we unpacked and took stock of our home for 70 days. It was clean and comfortable and we were fortunate to have two windows. Our dining experiences were good with the choice of eating in three different places. We had a good selection on the menu and all diets were catered for. The entertainment was excellent but the guest comedians were generally poor. The resident lecturers were superb, catering for all interests and excellent speakers. We mainly did our own excursions but would recommend the gauche estancia day trip. We organised our own trip in the Falklands with Patrick Watts and this was one of the highlights for us. We were late arriving and his team gave us a magnificent trip to Absolute Point. The ports we visited were generally quite well organised but Calleo was quite scary. We enjoyed the whole experience and would recommend this trip as a taster for another visit. Read Less
