The + - welcoming, helpful and attentive staff - correct food with several choices of dishes - very festive atmosphere, great entertainment The -: - we left the port 1 hour late - difficulties in finding the pier - the entrances were already served when we moved in, not top level hygiene

Tables of 10 people, inedible food already on the table and a show so-so, apart from the belly dancer who was embarrassing
