Let me start off by saying that the CostaMediterrania is a beautiful Ship.
Our Embarkation was great we arrived at about 1:00 PM and went right on the ship no lines no waiting. The room was nice we had a balcony room. We had ordered the anniversary package so we had robes on the bed along with champagne, flowers and a silver picture frame waiting for us. One of our bags was in the room when we arrived the others came soon after that.
We then went to explore the ship and have some lunch at the buffet. The food was ok normal buffet fare, warm not cold but not red hot. There was a calypso band playing at the sail away party.
