Review summary

There is so many better cruises I wouldn’t fall for a cheap cruise again as it works out more expensive, the cruise was a nightmare. I even tried to find a flight back from Spain and a lot of other people were also looking. Unfortunately, even after making a complaint the customer service is as useless as it was on the ship and they do not care whatsoever. You feel like you are totally on your own.

Breakfast buffet was impossible. It was crowded, and you had to fight for a seat. Getting a drink was also a nightmare most staff just totally ignored us, the other staff to busy

Service and Staff

1 out of 5
Didn’t really get much service, unless I pestered for some service and even then getting a drink from a quiet bar was hard. My husband couldn’t get my drink for me. As the bar man said one drink per person but we in the same room

Ship Quality

1 out of 5
