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.
