Minya Posted June 22, 2009 #1 Share Posted June 22, 2009 Anyone else going on this 17 day cruise on Marco Polo departing Ushuia December 20 2009? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bahrain_not_dubai! Posted August 10, 2009 #2 Share Posted August 10, 2009 No, im not- but I did do the 11 day Christmas in the Ice Kingdom last year. It was a great trip.. but a few cautions. First of all the ship will have very few English speaking passengers. 95% German. All announcements however are made in both languages. Our cabin stewardess couldn't speak English... Yes that's right... We had to get a translator... Also in the dining rooms 5 times out of 10 you wouldnt get what you ordered.. It was a disimal experience on the ship. However a few Indian crew members did make it worth while as well as the four filipinos onboard. But you cant have a bad cruise. Not inc the Antarctic.. The destination makes up for everything else. Any questions please ask away! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
