Review summary

The cruise lines no longer give tissues in rooms nor do they have wash cloths for shower. ALSO no where does it state to go on land in ports that YOU have to pay for the bus to take you into a town, you have no choice its charged to your room unless you don't go. Also every port more people are added and some leave, I have never heard of this before.The staff was not friendly, could be due to the fact no one really speaks english. Some of the bartenders don't know how to make some drinks which are very popular in the states. I may be spoiled by the way cruise lines run in the states,but I don't think I would ever take another Med cruise again. The ports you also visit are not what you would think or expect, so to me that was a big dissapointment.
