Customer Reviews

    · September 11th, 2023
    Superb experience with professional crew and minute attention to detail. Service excellent and staff always friendly and willing to help. Cabin size more than comfortable and food/drink better than anticipated. As we were 1st time cruisers, we had some misgivings however these were quickly dispelled as we settled in to 'water magic'.

    It was not excellent but good…entertainment lacked they had a girl singing that was one of the bartenders and some bell ringers..tours were good.We had one issue we found out that people that were going to train station had their fare covered and we thought transfer was just to airport.both were 30 mins away from port.some people had their fare covered to train station .we had to pay 75 euro.this we found unfair.food was good and waiters were exceptional but rest of staff mainly cruise director didn’t go above and beyond.
