We chose The Diadema for a week's cruise around the Med to celebrate family birthdays. We were bowled over with the caring attentive staff on board - every single member working so hard to make our holiday a memorable one. This is, by far, the best cruise we have been on. All the staff went that extra mile. Everything on board was immaculate, fully equipped for your every need. The food was of the highest standard and was very tasty and very well presented.. The evening shows were top quality and entertaining. Toilet facilities were immaculate and well stocked with hand towels and toilet paper at all times. This was let down by a small minority of passengers who could not be bothered to flush the toilet after use!!! I guess they have a "poop" fairy that just magically comes along to dispose of it! This was by no means the fault of the ship or crew!! It is not their job to flush the toilets! Hope this is not a reflection of how they would behave at home. There is a vast amount of top entertainment around the ship including Clubs and entertainment for children such as Peppa Pig and Princess and Captain for the day. Also a late night disco for teenagers and youngsters to dance the night away. Again, in some of the venues, a small minority of passengers let their children climb all over furniture with total disregard for other passengers around them! Again it left us thinking how they would act in their home environment! I have children and grandchildren and they love to enjoy life to the full but we would make every effort to stop them from climbing all over the tables and chairs - this was somewhat lacking with some passengers. Again - not the fault of ship or crew members who worked so tirelessly to ensure everyone had a great experience on board. Great facilities for passengers with mobility problems and staff were on hand to assist passengers to their cabin rooms etc.. The cabins were immaculate with super comfortable beds and lovely shower rooms, lots of storage space and a fridge. There were plenty of lifts and we never had to wait for any length of time before one arrived. The ship is very colourful and tastefully decorated. Lovely outdoor pool, jacuzzi areas, indoor pool, well equipped gym , 4D Cinema, Casino, Massage, Laser games, Hairdressers and vast amounts of shops to browse around. Everything was computerised which made for very littlle queing at any Hospitality Desks. I would highly recommend this cruise ship. We have definitely had a holiday to remember with many happy memories made along the way. 10/10 - well done Costa Cruises. Having read some of the reviews on here just before we were due to go on our cruise, we were more than a little apprehensive! We need not have worried so much as our fears melted away as soon as we stepped on to the ship. Will definitely return.
