OVERVIEW -- This was my third cruise and my second cruise with Costa. For the second time I was blown away by how wonderful my cruise with Costa was. From the beautiful decor of the ship to the wonderful staff, fun activities and overall service, this was one of the best vacations that I've taken (up there with my last Costa cruise on the Atlantica). Overall, I would recommend Costa to anyway. I believe it's one of the best cruiselines out there and prices are not outrageous by any means. Our itinerary was, as follows:
Day 1: Fort Lauderdale Day 2: ...at sea.. Day 3: San Juan, Puerto Rico (5PM-Midnight) Day 4: St. Thomas, US Virgin Islands (8AM-5PM) Day 5: Catalina Island, Dominican Republic (8AM-5PM) Day 5: Casa de Campo, Dominican Republic (6PM-Midnight) Day 6: ...at sea... Day 7: Nassau, Bahamas (1PM-6PM) Day 8: Fort Lauderdale
EMBARKMENT -- This really didn't take us more than a half an hour and was a very smooth process!
