Was on this Ship early July and have to agree that is primarily for Italians. The ship was full when we sailed due to Italian holidays so I guess a full ship can be a little stressful anyway but added with some people that have no concept of good manners makes matter worse.... more

Worst holiday EVER!! Long wait in Hanger with very few seats prior to getting on board. Very expensive. 15% surcharge on everything and then a further 7 euros PER PERSON PER DAY for 'Hotel Services' whatever that was meant to be. Cabin services they said. Had to buy tea... more

Carlsberg £5.20 per pint
Vodka/Gin & tonic £7.20
Poor entertainment
Italian crew do not speak or acknowledge the English/Welsh
Philippine staff were excellent in every department
A very expensive cruise to socialise on
First of all, my apologies if my English isn't sufficient. I am Italian. The drinks are indeed pricy for some people. But you have to understand that the money you pay for the cabin, is not enough to cover even 20 percent of our expences. That is why we have higher prices on some articles. The 15 percent service charge is to help paying our staff. The money goes directly to them. This just to clear out that we are not making people pay too much at all.
