Review summary

Ship was old and dated, staff not as friendly as previous reviews have mentioned. Food was mediocre at best. Ordered drink package, was not informed there were limitations and additional charges would apply. Issue with internet, purchased 250 min package, spotty connection and overcharged, was advised fee would be reversed by Internet manager and front desk staff, my credit card was still charged.  

Ports were amazing and it was nice having a "home base", but not worth it. Hours at each stop didn't make sense, you get off the boat at 8am, but nothing is open, you basically waste the first couple of hours waiting for people to wake up!

Cabin / Stateroom

3 out of 5
Location was great, but the room wasn't very clean and the full size bed was two twins pushed together. Not very comfortable. Also found a pair of dirty undies (not mine) in one of the drawers.

Dubrovnik, Croatia

Dubrovnik does not accept Euro's, we were not informed prior to getting off the ship. You can exchange in old town without the service fee the ship charges.

Venice, Italy
