Food and Dining

1 out of 5
Had dinner entrees that were so tough and over cooked I couldn’t cut it with my fork. The wine selection very poor. I thought Italians Liked wine? Canti was like drinking $2 Buck Chuck. I upgraded to get Beefeater Gin, but most of the bars say they ran out (this was day 1).

Onboard Activities

1 out of 5
Mose Cruise lines offer daily aerobic classes. This one you had to get 5 people minimum to sigh up and then pay. There was not a lot they didn’t try to charge you for.
