Towny, Magellan was a lovely ship which we enjoyed very much, it had the right balance of bars and venues, varied entertainment and a good selection of food and drink, very sociable passengers who were happy to chat and the staff were the best we have seen on any ship. I wouldn't begin to compare it to PandO ships, as it would be like comparing a ford mondeo to a jaguar, they do exactly the same thing but in different waystowny44 wrote:....but did you enjoy your cruise on Magellan better than your P&O ones? From your review so far the passengers seem to have similar failings to those you met on P&O.
BUT we are not typical cruisers, we don't subscribe to cruising being a posh holiday or that it is some sort of elite club for the middle class, we also don't believe the hype of the brochures, cruising is sold to the gullible as a special holiday that will change your life, BS, it is a floating hotel and with all hotels, some are better than others.
no doubt the class clowns, will try to take the p*ss but as they have no experience of Magellan, the stupid put downs just make them look small and tiresome and show them up for the snobs they are, so let them cling to the myth that PandO/ Cunard are something special, whilst those of us with a lot more sense reap the benefit of not being scared to try something new
