Our embarkation was very disappointing at Dubai although we arrived at the port at around noon we were not allowed to board the ship until after 3 pm and even worse were not given access to our stateroom until after 8 pm!!! The reason given was to allow disembarking passengers with late flights to keep the cabin just prior to leaving for the Airport. Unfortunately this flexibility was not afforded to us when we left the ship at Singapore, we also had a midnight flight!!

Our outside cabin on deck 4 was spacious well appointed and clean although beginning to show signs of tiredness, particularly in the toilet! As a precaution we purchased a small Mosquito spray for our visit to India, as it turned out we were in more need of this spray in the cabin! Unfortunately there seemed to be this never ending small ant problem!

The blurb in the Costa Annual brochure describes the Classica as Elegant Majestic and Modern, I am afraid this was not the ship that we were on!! Devoid of any distinctive characteristics with more of a clinical feel,the seating in the centre Piazza Navona entertainment lounge reminded me of the seats in a hospital waiting room!!!
