Costa Allegra Asian Cruise 9 to 23 January 2010
Travelled with my husband, sister and brother in law. Checking in was relatively painless and gave us no indication of the problems ahead.
CABINS: Opening our cabin door (4042 for future reference) we were met with a damp stench of wet dirty carpet. This we originally thought was coming from the floor of the bathroom but on further investigation we discovered if was actually coming up from under the floor from a broken pipe outside the bathroom and under the floor of our cabin, not off to a good start. No amount of vacuuming and drying off could stem the flow of water.
The oceanview cabins were roomy enough. I just scored a particularly bad cabin 4042. The bathroom are very dated and the doors to the cabins have louvre openings at the bottom constituting a fire hazard. All cabin doors I thought should be fire rated and air tight. If there was a fire the smoke would enter your cabin with no protection there. Hallway incredibly noisy due to the cabin doors having these louvres open to the passageway.
