The actual experience was much better than some reviews I'd seen beforehand. My expectations weren't too high, so it was quite pleasant. For example, the boarding process wasn't as complicated as other cruise lines. Upon arrival at the pier, I handed over my large luggage to the cruise staff, and after verification and security checks, I boarded directly. Although it wasn't time to get my room key yet, the restaurant was already serving food—a buffet with American burgers, fries, and desserts; Italian pizza, various hams, roast chicken, salads, pasta, and other Italian dishes, as well as tiramisu and fruit. Our room included unlimited drinks (under €6 each), so we could drink as much as we wanted. The cruise service fee was also reasonable, a one-time charge of €10 per person per day. Other lines I've used charge a service fee plus a tip for each formal dinner, room cleaning, etc. Opera's ship is smaller, so the space isn't very large, and there aren't many activities, but the nightly theater performances are quite good. The bar performances and deck fitness activities are also good, catering to different groups' needs. The gym is also good. We went to the gym every morning and evening. The spa experience was also great. They even offered Chinese acupuncture. As for sightseeing on land, I won't go into detail. The cruise ship offers tours of various attractions for an additional fee; you can choose to do so yourself. Overall, it was a pleasant and relaxing vacation.

The buffet restaurant was too small, the food was monotonous, and it had short opening hours; even when it was closed, they didn't provide hot water or coffee. To go to Tunisia, a multiple-entry Schengen visa is required; otherwise, boarding the ship is denied. The professionalism of the visa processing staff at Ctrip needs improvement.
