Staff was over stressed and not helpful. By the time we reached the counter it was already closed. We got a message about the meet up point only after the counter was closed . We had to request 6 staff members for help before one finally helped us to get on board. Value for money was almost not worth it. Food was very average . Only drink available was beer. Glass of wine costed €15- All in all experience was not in…”
