Having cruised with P&O many times, Princess and Thomson cruises and having already booked a South America transatlantic crossing with Costa for next March,the oppurtunity to take a mini cruise around ports in the Med presented itself. The price was very good and included a drinks package and although we were a little wary after reading some of the views, we went ahead and booked it as it also gave us the chance to become members of the costa club. This review is our opinion on what we experienced and therefore only represents our views,other opinions may vary.Please also do forgive any spelling and grammar mistakes.

Embarkation.

We flew into Barcelona airport and spent the night before in a hotel and then used the Metro to get down to the port.The weather was'nt kind and we had torrential rain.There was a little confusion on where to get the shuttle to take us to the cruise terminal but once we found it we boarded the coach at a cost of 3 Euros and were dropped outside the costa cruise terminal at about 3 15pm.We were given health declaration forms to fill in and then went through to the departure lounge where we were given our cruise cards and directed to the ship.We were welcomed on board and asked what language we preferred to communicate in (Italian,English,French,Spanish,German and Russian) Told where our cabin was and then told that the buffet restaurant was open for snacks and that our safety drill was to be held at 5pm in the theatre. So far so good,Embarkation went smoothly and efficiently (9 out of 10,1 point deducted for lack of signage to the shuttle coach)

Cabin Review

inside cabin with twin beds. spotlessly clean, plenty of cupboard and hanging space. Bathroom a little dated but perfectly adequate. No cabinet in bathroom just shelves. Tv with international channels and interacive service. tv had ppv movies at 8.95.
