totally disagree......was there for 11 nights for norway and north cape and we really enjoyed ourselves - and it is really a shame I saw a reply on the above stating that the food is mc donalds standard......come on what a difference!! we were very satisfied overall with Armonia - animation team great, shows great,there was something for everyone...it is impossible that you like everything on a ship but it is more impossible that there is more negative things than positive things on any cruise line!!! I also have travelled and cruised with several lines and although some things maybe I prefer one line for another, but I cannot say I will never go again on any particular cruise-line. sorry this is my opinion!!!

SAD TO HEAR ABOUT YOUR CRUISE ON THIS SHIP,HAVE BEEN WITH MSC 5 TIMES,IN FACT OUR LAST CRUISE WITH MSC WAS ON THE ARMONIA,HAD A WONDERFUL CRUISE.SAYING THAT WENT ON A COSTA CRUISE(THIRD TIME WITH THIS LINE)EARLY PART OF THE YEAR,AWFUL,IT MAY BE ITALIAN WAY OF DOING THINGS,I CALL IT HELL.BEST VALUE FOR MONEY THOMSON CRUISE.AND I HAVE DONE A LOT OF CRUISING.

i totally agree with your comments and thought as you said the non european crew where excellent including cabin staff with there no problem approach,and the duo of violinist and pianist were great,and as you said the food was rubbish[better food at mcdonalds] and thats saying something,and the biggest RIPOFF is the price of excursions,WE ARE PEOPLE WHO HOLIDAY EVERY MONTH AND BEEN ON 13 CRUISES,and say we will go anywhere once but twice is another thing.AND WE WILL NEVER SAIL WITH MSC CRUISES AGAIN...BE WARNED,by the way this was the baltic cruise on the armonia

We went to Rio on "Armonia" last Winter and the above sums up our experience of the ship. Beautiful ship - shame about the rest!
