It was a terrible cruise. The staff was very rude, the beverage package we chose, Brindiamo, didn't have bottled water and for the night we had to buy bottles of water, even if the water was included in the package. When I went to hospitality desk to ask, I said that in the offer it doesn't say that they are offering us drinks (included water) only in the glass. The receptionist smiled very ironic at me and said: "But it neither say that you have bottled ones". The service charge was mandatory, even if I wasn't satisfied by services and in other cruises that I went the service charge was optional (with MSC, Norwegian). The activities were very boring, compared with others from another cruise lines, in the theater was the same daily show, under another names.The food was poor, based especially on pastas and fish. I ate pastas in those 9 days for my entire life. Pizza was exposed on the dinner buffet, but if you wanted to eat pizza you had to buy it (in other cruise lines it's included). Cocktails were very poor, based on sodas and syrup (every cocktail). No natural juices. The dinner was available untill 9.00 PM. After this hour, you can eat only if you buy at the restaurant (with MSC we ate pizza at 11 PM). The itinerary was not very good organised, we only stayed 3-4 hours in big ports, the rest of the time you'll be bored to death on the sea.

Cabin Review

Classic Outside

Cabin EC

The cabin was very good, comfortable bed, pillows but in the bathroom it was nothing. If you wanted some soap or a helmet you had to ask for it at the hospitallity desk.
