Review summary
It was our own mistake to book a cruise through an Italian cruise line. We felt very left out as the main language used on board is Italian and other European language. On the Deliziosa, they don't provide hot water or beverages in the buffet restaurant apart from meal times. Even drinking water during meal times at the Albatros Restaurant are chargeable unless you pay for a water package to be included in your cabin. We also noticed many rude and unfriendly people on the ship! This is definitely our first and last cruise on board an Italian Cruise ship.

In Europe, people are used to drinking bottled water and paying for it. Americans have a problem with this in restaurants; I do, too. This is a cultural thing. MSC received a lot of similar complaints whe they started service in the US. Perhaps it is better for you to stick with ships geared toward American preferences. It helps to know all this before booking. It lessens the annoyance. At least you are aware of what to expect. There are plenty of ships out there running similar itineraries, luckily.
