The Ship was amazing, we were well impressed with the Shows, the food was lovely and a good choice but it was never more than lukewarm which was a shame, the staff work so hard and are so friendly. We bought one of the middle drinks packages it and proved to be a godsend as the drinks were expensive. We did find it hard work getting back on the Ship after a trip. I also slipped up on deck 10 near ...
I've written an extensive report of our experience on the costa board.
This was deal we couldnt say no to. A guaranteed inside cabin,so weren't expecting much.
Upgraded to a Balcony.
Cabin spotless throughout the cruise.
Some of the best food i've ever had. It is aimed at the Italian market and therefore meats, cheeses etc are aimed at western Europeans.
Hot breakfast in main dining ...

This was our seventh cruise, the second with Costa. We previously sailed with Royal Caribbean and NCL. We booked a back-to-back cruise, doing the same six-day route twice in the Western Mediterranean. For the first cruise we received a free upgrade from inside to balcony, which was a real treat. My wife has special dietary needs and was looked after superbly by the crew, delivering food to the ...
We have just returned from our Med cruise on board the Costa Diadema.
We have previously sailed with Cunard, NCL, Carnival and Royal Caribbean.
Overall, we enjoyed our first cruise with Costa. The Diadema is a large ship and it took us most of the holiday to find our way around.
We were very impressed with the cleanliness of the ship, one of the cleanest ships we have sailed on both ...
We are Americans who sailed on an August Mediterranean cruise which stopped in Palma de Mallorca, Cagliari (Island of Sardinia), Civitavecchia (Rome), Savona and Marseille.
The culture.....I had read numerous negative reviews about this cruise line by American passengers. I can only surmise that they have had minimal exposure to other cultures. Frankly, the offering of this cruise line is ...
I really Don't know what people are moaning about with this ship.
We had a fantastic cruise.
We have sailed with RCI and Celebrity in the past and were pleasantly surprised by how well the Costa Diadema stood up against the bigger cruise lines.
The food was really good in the main dining room but with a very Italian style (after all it is an Italian ship)
The hot breakfast was in the ...
This ship is the replacement for the ill fated Costa Concordia and is a very large ship at well over 140000 tons and 4000 passengers.
Having said that, it is very well designed and appointed and we much prefer it to say Britannia, which is a similar size.
Cabins are well laid out, ample bathroom space and large balconies, again much bigger than Britannia. It has lift shafts in the Aft,Mid ...
Fantastic first time cruise with Costa! The ship is awesome, very glitzy and modern, clean throughout. Facilities are diverse and finished to a high standard and with the latest technology.
A good feature is the costa mobile app which allows you to chat freely amongst passengers using your device. Internet is affordable and they offer several plans to suit your needs
Embarkation was a bit ...
Whilst the onboard experience was generally great there was an issue caused by land-side booking team who need to dramatically improve to provide a complete customer service. It is not just about the onboard experience. More of this at the end
We have now done about 15 cruises and this is the second time we have been on the Diadema at this time of the year. The motivation is that in the last ...
