Nonostante sia presente il bagno a bordo non lo si può utilizzare, non perché non sia funzionante ma per una politica aziendale che impone ai passeggeri un viaggio di 90 minuti circa senza poter utilizzare i servizi igienici. Una prevaricazione che trasforma i clienti in bestiame. Ho contattato telefonicamente il customer care che si è dimostrato totalmente indifferente,in alcuni momenti arrogante e totalmente non disponibile. Grazie. Spero abbiate la cortesia di trattare i clienti in maniera adeguata.
