I was disappointed in many aspects but perhaps my expectations were off for a European line. I haven't cruised that much, I went for the scenery (Fjords) and convenience of a cruise. I was taken aback by how much Costa pushed the bars and the drinks. They did a good job on some other things, but it was clear where their priorities lay.
The shore excursions were generally good.
The dining room food was very good, but small portions, so order a lot.
Only one deck of unobstructed windows, and my cabin was right below a very noisy bar, couldn't sleep before 1am.Cabin was adequate and comfortable, good shower, clothesline in the shower, plenty of pillows.
