The meal sorry but a fish or meat dish is not considered a meal Open bar water or lice tea !!!! A pitcher of wine placed on our table without explanation, even if it's unlimited, is not a tasting at all. Otherwise, the crew did their best to make our time on board a pleasant one, with, in my opinion, few resources at their disposal. Still, it's worth taking this cruise.

Todavía estamos pendientes de que nos devuelvan el dinero. Despues de llevar 20 min en el punto acordado, nos escribio un chico (a las 14:10h) que ha habido un error con la reserva y que pensaban que saliamos desde Split cuando en la reserva claramente estaba cogida en Dubrovnik, que tenían los barcos llenos y que la solución era otra entrada al día siguiente (que regresabamos a españa) o la devolución del dinero, de la que estamos pendientes. No se presenció nadie allí a dar la cara, fue una vergüenza.
