The prices for the rest of the meal on board are excessive. Otherwise, everything is fine.

A very disappointing experience. It…
A very disappointing experience. It is absolutely unacceptable to make passengers leave their cabins and the lounge two and a half hours before the ship's arrival, especially since we paid for a cabin to be comfortably settled until we reached our destination. We were forced to wait standing for two and a half hours, or sitting on the ground outside, with no proper organization whatsoever. Then, we had to wait again standing or sitting on the floor on a deck while the ship completed its docking, and then wait for the car decks to open one by one. This management is completely unacceptable, especially when there are children running around and people with disabilities. As someone with a disability due to my health problems, I felt very unwell. I didn't even know where to sit and was on the verge of fainting. The lack of organization, consideration, and foresight is shocking. When you pay for a cabin, it's not to spend the last few hours of your journey in such uncomfortable and distressing conditions. I do not recommend this experience.
