Ship overall
- Not sufficient quantity of bars serving breakfasts and lunches comparing to the quantity of passagers.
- Poor service at the restaurants and buffet (slow service and some rough behaviour or comments) Good and helpful service at other bars (not included in the rate)
- Pretty ship
- I found the restaurant stuff to be very professional, I found that the bath stuff was slow. I stood for five minutes or more, waiting for a drink on a number of locations and the bar was busy with the wellness on board, I thought €50 what is the better expensive to use the sauna?
- No buffet in the evening. Buffet area during lunch overcrowded and food could be organised better to minimise people stumbling into each other.
- We took the My Drinks package, the drinks and mixers are of the lowest category, some of them I didn't know existed.
- Nice ship but facilities and decor are outdated and tired. Swimming pool too small. Staff very helpful
