Very satisfied, clean accommodation, good staff, quick arrival and punctual departure.
The food offered was unappetizing…
The food offered was unappetizing and very expensive, with limited selection. The staff was very unfriendly. The journey itself was very pleasant and clean; it was a new ship with plenty of seating. We were supposed to arrive at 2 pm but arrived at 9 am, which was excellent. One star for the food and one star for the prices.
