Review summary

This was our first cruise so haven’t got anything to compare it too. We were a bit worried after we booked as all the reviews we read had been so bad. Also we couldn’t really find any reviews after 2015!!! We weren’t disappointed though! The cabin was clean and very comfortable with lots of storage space. The staff were all really welcoming and friendly, especially the young man who was always in and out of our cabin daily. The food was lovely and there was plenty to choose from. We were in the dining area on level 5 La Bussola Restaurant. The only negatives were the portions were quite small and the service was a little slow at times. The waiters could have been more attentive. We were often calling them over for more drinks or bread rolls. The service did improve mid week when one of our fellow diners called the maître d over to complain. Our waiters were always smiling and friendly though. On deck 11 at La pergola and Le bistrot you could get food all day/night. Buffet breakfast/lunch, cakes/pastries, snacks, pizzas, burgers, and other things from the grill. You really couldn’t go hungry on this cruise. (This pleased my husband immensely) Overall entertainment was ok. Would have been nice to have had a few comedians though instead of just singing, dancing and bad magic shows! You have to prebook your seats in the theatre. Lastly we thought the excursions were quite expensive. I had used my Viator app and booked my own tours cheaper in advance. It’s safe to say that our overall cruise experience was fab and we’ve definitely got the cruise bug! Looking forward to trying more cruise ships in the future, and exploring more beautiful countries.
