This is the most basic cruise ideal for backpackers looking for transport and mattress on floor up the riviera on serious budget! Not even a kettle and be warned usa style electric adaptors needed via europe ones you'll think to take and ship store had none in stock, so take ladies take a hat/scarf and men grow a beard. also be prepared to fight over the four hangars

Reception was quite nice inviting and nothing like the accommodation for passengers. Just one cafe you can find the same ones same company at Euston train station and most overland British train stations. some sofa's in this cafe nothing plush DFS style. No other rooms just sports bar i.e. think New Orleans usa style fast food restaurant in many uk towns.

U pay for everything in cafe menu not varied sugar loaded cereals i.e cocoa pops sugar puffs and pastries or toast. Buy own healthy cereal at nearest port and use the milk when buying the tea/coffee its healthier. Sports bar menu was basic fast food chicken wings BBQ sauce corn on cob type usa fast food at high price but where else can you go when afloat? Hungry enough ~ you'll eat anything.

No closet even though we took suite with balcony no drawers no storage just 4 hangers each lived out of suitcase clothes draped all over the one chair plastic that we borrowed from sun deck. Wash unit as they call it was exactly that all-in-one glass case with open shower that flooded floor so every time you need the loo wear flippers and snorkel.

Just DJ and no we never bothered the info at ports was so appallingly wrong and no cabs or buses or directions to nearest town, beach except Cannes as in view of boat, feet so sore they cracked from hiking miles and miles. Simple photo stat copy of next port slid under door during night no indication as to how to get bus or cab.

Basic gym where some smart people realized they could access adaptor in here to charge phone and so word spread but not for everyone, jaccuzi you would have to be happy that the bar can watch you and with 4 in it would be crowded and not even on the sun deck. ports fared better than the ship Nice Cannes St Tropez Monaco brilliant sparkling jewels of the Cote D'Azure then Genoa had we known this was like Barking Town Centre off the A13/A406 we would have stayed on mattress on floor. Imperia ok but reception will or might tell you in broken english a good beach and when you get there you'll find its not and its also private so again you pay or sit outside fenced "private beach" like leper and then walk 5-10 kilometres back to ship hungry and into orange cupboard bigger cos suite and forget about nice refreshing cup of tea/coffee as there is no kettle. (over 18) adults only on this ship any kids would be taken into care and parents prosecuted. photosta copy of things like Monaco Princess Grace's Tomb? But not a jet ski or water ski or dolphin excursion mentioned not even in the small print. the tomb would have been more entertaining had we have had the energy and correct foot wear to hike more kilometres to find it but Monaco was bliss why cos we found a supermarket and stocked up on water fruit, bread, spread cheese and made a picnic on mattress using plastic spoons to spread bread as so weakened by lack of decent food no sleep and sas lifestyle still waiting on certificate of merit or camping-while-afloat-badge.

In 7 days saw empty cafe at 6.30-7a.m. we went to sports bar once TV on footie tuned in. Not a lot of depth. Sundeck nobody spoke to anyone kind of strange but one night there was a crowd of ladies in black going off ship on hen night.
