I was expected to pay for drinks and did not have water either. I would have liked to have seen the Christmas market at night.

At entrance my driver and I were insulted profusely by the gate keeper. So badly that my driver would only say that since we were Americans we didn’t know what we were doing. He decided to spare me the details but I could tell whatever was said was not pleasant at all. Secondly, crew were stoic and not warm at all. Not helpful and I felt like everyone avoided the English speaking guests. Thirdly, the food was mediocre at best. The gala dinner that was supposed to be the most extravagant , main dish was mushy and not warm. Booked Croisi Europe because my last cruise was perfect in every way, hoping at least we would have a good time. Gravely disappointed. Never again will I book another cruise with Croisi EuropeShow more

Dear Mr. Aguilar, Drinks are indeed not included in this program. It's well mentioned on our website. The only navigation done during the night is from day 3 to 4. We are sorry it was not to your liking. We've taken good note of your desire to see the Christmas market at night. Thank you for sharing your experience with us. Best regards, CroisiEurope Customer Care Department
