Starting from Casablanca airport : 45min waiting for luggage, Costa staff difficult to find, minibus too small for passengers and luggage, waiting 35 min in a cold warehouse for the port customs, waiting 20 more min for the minibus to reach finally the ship 3 hrs and a half after landing.
Start at 9 pm for Madeira with a medium bad sea. The Classica is moving as if it was a big tempest. Many passengers were ill during the 36 hrs of crossing. The stabilizers were inoperant.
Madeira, and all the Canary islands are beautiful and the Costa excursions were quite interesting.
Nice cabin, but only with a round porthole giving a limited view outside (on this boat there are only ten cabins with balconies)
