“Second cruise we went on Palma, this was also very good and worth it. Front of the boat is reserved for VIP clients, so no lying on the front nets if you dont pay the premium. On our trip the food ran out, which was a shame. The food was excellent so its no suprise that it ran out, but its not good that not everybody got to eat.”
