Sail Date: May 2013

My husband and I decided on this trip as the itinerary was right up our street - visiting all the places we have on our bucket list. We booked 10 months previously and only then were there two inside cabins left. We thought long and hard about the cruise line but were assured that Costa had put in several safety measures on board each of its ships. We really shouldn't have been worried at all as the whole cruise was better than we had ever thought.

We had met some people on the cruise forum (high recommended) and joined with them on some of the excursions. We learned a lot from them as they had been on several cruises before. We arranged to meet on the 9th deck just after sailaway on the first day in Dubai. We hit it off straightaway which is unusual for four couples to do so.

The ship's embarkation procedure was really easy - we arrived in Dubai docks about two hours earlier and there was a small cafe to buy drinks and snacks which we did and sat and chatted to other couples who were as excited as we were. We were onboard within a couple of hours but weren't allowed in the cabins til 8pm. However, this didn't stop us wandering around the ship, the self service restaurant was open and we tucked into a lunch. As we had the all inclusive drinks package, which by the way, worked out really well for us, we were happy. We found that if you had one cappuccino, a couple of sodas, wine and a cocktail a day, you were quids in, so to speak.

Cabin Review

Cabin I3

We had cabin 7110 and this was at the very front of the ship so we had a long way to walk, if we started at the back of the ship (which sometimes we did if we lost our way!) The cabin was very well equipped with cupboard space, the bathroom had loads of places to put toiletries etc.
