Recently refurbished and wonderfully European. You will be disappointed if looking for an American style cruise, this one is more 'understated elegance'. Food was delicious in all restaurants and bars. Would recommend highly the gelateria Amarillo - ice cream with an ocean view? Yes, please! This gelateria served up a delightful array of gelato flavors, and it became my daily ritual to indulge in ...
Positives.

Waiters - Excellent especially - Dining Melvic Z and Jansen Nicolas along with others we made good contact with and there was several of them. Thank you boys and girls

Chose Costa because we’ve tried Royal Caribbean and P& O so wanted to try a different cruise line and because of the value for money it offered.

Shazaam!...now we’re big Costa fans! The ship is good, but the crew is amazing. Costa (or at least the Fortuna) clearly has the secret sauce recipe for keeping its crew (apparently) happy and very highly effective.
Here’s some ...
My wife really enjoyed the shows performed by the Italian / western artists and paid extra to watch the late night show.
My boy liked the play group. There were 136 children in the group and the staff appeared overwhelmed. All later activities required the participation of a parent. The cruise should have allocated more staff to take care of the children so the parents could go and play, even ...
This was our first cruise. I booked this cruise as a Christmas present for my wife via a local travel agent. I originally booked a Junior Suite, but the we got upgraded to an Owner Suite.
We flew Palanga Lithuania to Copenhagen, wondered around in the cold and had a good meal before catching the SAS overnight to Dubai. SAS, even in economy provide much more leg room than Airbaltic, the only other ...
