Everything was terrible! Food, entertainment, customer service, restaurant staff, photo staff, etc. The worst of all was the lack of variety and amount of food in the buffets and main dinning rooms. All food was repetitive every day; focaccia with tea or water, oriental pasta with no flavor, apples, honeydews, and more focaccia. i mean, we were hungry throughout the cruise. The waiters were ...

We booked this cruise in 2019 to sail in June of 2020, and we all know how that story ends. When the world shut down, we opted to take the voucher offered by Costa which offered us the ability to rebook a cruise with a suite #15010 (vs a terrace cabin which we originally booked) and have the highest-level drink package which covered all the soft drinks and alcohol we needed. The Suite guests have ...

We chose this cruise based on the itinerary. We have cruised many times on several different cruise lines. We appreciate the ups and downs of cruising and have come to learn what to expect and not expect. That said - this is not necessarily a criticism, simply a fact. If you are an English speaker, DO NOT TAKE THIS CRUISE. Sadly, we were ignorant of this. Let me be clear. WE were the ...

All us residents should read this review before opting for costa cruise lines (in europe) or this ship, the costa favolosa. If you are familiar with the “normal” us-type ships (e.g., carnival, royal caribbean, ncl, holland america, etc) then favolosa will come as a shock to you and the standards you are used to. i am not trying to be disparaging but simply stating the facts in comparison to ...

If you are English speaking and want to take shore excursions don't book a cruise in Europe with Costa, Due to the lack of Numbers of English-speaking passengers there are very few excursions that are available, but you don't know that until you are on board and in most cases, you are advised a day or two before. The tours that you may be able to go on are with a guide who speaks at least 2 ...

When we arrived to our balcony cabin, first we noticed that there is no fridge at all and only one bottle of warm water. Then we left from our cabin to check if there is any bars in this vessel (we had this drink package bought) and saw that almost all the bars are closed. We found only two bars open and after all we bought all inclusive cruise. At least around 8pm some more bars opened and we ...

This was our 21st cruise. We have sailed on Costa before as well as the other "main-stream" lines, e.g. RCCL, Celebrity, Norwegian, HA, MSC etc. This cruise was a last-minute replacement for a cancelled MSC cruise. Essentially, we paid less than 50% for the "same" cruise on Smeralda. We had read the numerous reviews on here and we were not unduly concerned since our own experiences have never ...
