We were on the same cruise as Tyforu and Barcart who have also written reviews. I have never before posted anything on the internet ever but after the huge rip off and the enormous amount of money that we spent on this cruise I felt compelled to write this review in the hope that it might help other people who are NEW to cruising when they are making the decision to spend such a lot of money on a cruise. Those of you who cruise frequently would no doubt disagree with my comments.

We were on the 28 day Black sea Medley (Oct 2008 2 X 2 week cruises back to back) and had travelled from Australia for the trip.

We wouldn't travel with this line or on this ship again. I am sorry if people are offended and I really hope that no one will mind me expressing myself as we were so deeply disappointed. I genuinely hope that my comments are of help to some people thinking about booking on this ship. People may still decide to go ahead after reading this but at least they will be in a better position to make a more informed decision. We were not privy to this type of information before we booked. I must also admit that I don't have a lot of experience with cruising. I have only done a very short Alaskan cruise with Carnival and another short one around the Pacific Islands with P&O so I can't compare my experience with other cruise lines operating around Europe.
