After a two hour transfer from Nice to Savona we finally saw the ship - so far so good. There was a short wait before we could get on the ship but the embarkation building was comfortable. In here we brought our drinks package which was rather pricey (we don't drink so we had the kids mocktail and soft drinks) 49 euros for only 20 drinks. We have sailed with Princess before and the same package is for unlimited drinks.
The next to hit us was the fact that we couldn't deduct the tips even though it said on our paper work that we could ( we pay tips but only to those that we feel have given us service).
We found our cabin quickly and our luggage was already waiting for us. Our cabin steward was friendly and always said hello (Joevan).
Lovely cabin much bigger than we have had on other cruises,plenty of storage space could do with more hangers in the wardrobes.
