Review summary

The ship was very beautiful and everybody knew what they were doing and were very proffessional, the entertainment was good but I woul have preffered more latin music to dance at nights, I think they have too many piano bars and even one with classical music wich I don't see related with these kind of cruises.But overall it was very good. One thing they have to improve is the embarkation process , we spend almost three hours to get on board, we have been on cruises with Royal Caribbean and Celebrity and in less than an hour you are on board.

Whhen I did the booking with Prbita, they offred me 100 dlls to spend on the ship, the first day when I went to the tour office on the ship they told me they didn't have anything on my account, I ask two or three times in different days and it was nothing, I wonder, this is a hook so you book the cruise or something went wrong?, we were verey upset about this matter.

I enjoyed reading about your interesting cruise.  Loved all the ports.  Glad that you had a good time.  Sorry to hear that you didn't receive your ship board credits.  How disappointing!  I would call whom ever you booked with to see what happened and try to get compensation.
