We took this boat for a dinner cruise. The check-in process was fast and we were seat on our reserved table. The dinner was a buffet which also included a welcoming drink, non-alcoholic drinks, and coffee. We also ordered a bottle of prosecco to complement the dinner. During the cruise, we had the opportunity to visit the captain's deck and take photos on board. Staff on board was very friendly and efficient.
