Me and my girlfriend were recommended this cruise by our local travel agency. The room was an okay size but the shower was a bit small. It was very clean and the crew was excellent and very polite.

The problem we faced was the food which was absolutely RUBBISH. Same meals over and over again and all the cuisines were British except for two nights which they served Indian and Italian cuisine which was even worst than the rest. We only had one decent meal on the cruise and that was "a make it your own pasta". They served it again for the second night in a row but the quality dropped dramatically as the chef changed and he just threw everything in the pan and served it to you within 10 seconds.

The entertainment was more suitable for over 50s and was the same every day. We wished we had more time at each port especially La Spezia as the excursion for Florence only gave you 4 hours to do everything as we needed 5 hours to and from the port. Toulon was a complete waste of time. Nothing to do at all besides a naval museum. When buying the tickets we were told we were going to St. Tropez but after receiving the tickets we found out that St. Tropez was an excursion option which was overpriced. All the excursion the ship had to offer were way too expensive for what they were offering and with the correct reasearch you can find excursions with more options and also cheaper.
