The food was amazing and the best part of the cruise and the waiters in the dining room were fabulous. Alina was very helpful. Toilets in our cabin didn't work at all for 20 hours, it was disgraceful. We are Australian and the communication was very poor over the loud speakers as they didn't translate any information to English. Smoking by the captain wasn't pleasant as the smoke would blow into the sundeck area for us to inhale. We were told the ship was "no smoking"
