We took the Costa Concordia Western Mediterranean cruise over Christmas and boarded in Savona.
Boarding in Savona was smooth and efficient - could not have been better. Luggage was in our room before we reached there.
We took an outside-view cabin. The room was spacious but untidy. The sheets were unclean, pillow had stains and the bathroom drains were blocked. We needed to make frantic calls and the first day went in getting the room habitable. We were disappointed as we did not have such an experience with Costa before.
Great view, spacious room, noisy hallways
