Review summary

We used vacations to book 2 rooms for my family of 5 (my husband and I, 22yo son, 20yo daughter and 16 yo daughter). They put my husband in a room with my daughter and me with my son and other daughter, because according to , you need to be at least 25yo to have a room yourself or with minors. That is not the case and that started a domino effect of issues with the 2 drink packages that I purchased, that I ended up being mandated that I buy my entire family a rink package or no one gets a drink package. I just wanted my husband and I, that were obviously going to be sharing a room, to get a drink package, my kids did not need a package (soda or otherwise). The lowest quality of alcohol was part of the package, upcharged for Absolute and Jack Daniels. Ice cream was not part of the cruise, it was additional (typical of cruises to have it included). There was no music at any of the pools at ANYTIME??!! Dinner was not as any other cruiseline I've been on and expected very different menu being on a Italian cruiseline. More about presentation being pretty that quality of food.
