The ship is fantastic, the cabin great. Cabin staff, bar staff and restaurant staff excellent. The food was adequate, but not exceptional, we resorted to eating in the speciality restaurants on a number of occations to relieve the bordom. At dinner we could not get menues in English but other nationalities did not have this problem. We were treated with disrespect, in the form of racism by the ...
I know Costa as a place for great Italian food, vibrant entertainment, beautiful ships and a well functioning service. Now I took just a short time out on a repositioning cruise around Western Europe. I wanted to sail on Costa Firenze, because she and her sister Venezia caused very positive and very negative reactions and I wanted to have an impression on my own before the ship will leave the ...
Never again Costa, after 10 Costa cruises the measure is now full.
We were not the only ones, heard several people say: never again Costa.
What a disappointment:
- Embarkation: 6 hours in the heat, no information what was going on, finally your turn, but sent back for mandatory Corona test (no mention at booking or at the entrance for check-in), again to the counter and then again with ...
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 ...
I chose this cruise due to the itinerary because I had already done other cruises on the Mediterranean and I didn't want to repeat the same ports. The ship is new and very beautiful. However the pools are small and there are only two jacuzzis. In the cabin (I bought two cabins with a balcony) there is no fridge (first ship I see this!). The food is good, but the company's services are terrible: ...
Overall the staff was great and always willing to help and super friendly. The ship was clean and the food was pretty food
However, the first time on a cruise we did not know what to expect.
Unless you are at the buffet/free restaurant at specified times. Be prepared to pay for everything. Including water by the bottle.
I would say to enjoy your time on the ship without having to worry. ...
I am writing this from the perspective of an American with lots of cruise experience with Carnival. As the title indicates this was our first cruise in the Med after many Caribbean, Alaska and West coast of Mexico cruises. We sailed round trip from Rome. Technically we sailed from Civitavecchia, the port that services inland Rome. Most of our cruise experience is with Carnival but we sailed with ...
Repositioning Dubai-Genoa March 2022. I have been on Costa enough to have Diamond Pearl status, and have sailed on many of their ships, including this itinerary in 2018 and 2019. I expected some cut-backs, but this was the worst Costa ship and the worst Costa cruise I have ever been on. Completely ordinary, same-as-everybody-else, nothing about this cruise stood out from the competition. The ship ...
