We were on cruise with Friends (8 People), the seating was not as we expected.
The costa application did not run for all.
Telephone line was not operating.
We had one blocked toilet, after steerage cleaning the toilet was dirty…

You can joying lots of activities, like basketball game, boxing aerobic dance, zumba,..etc. Performance shows are international, high class, keep your eyes on performance. The restaurant Bellavista is wonderful. The meals are delicious and service is pretty good. All staffs are very kind ,patient and always smile.
But there are little problems in cruise. All swimming pools are too small, steps ...
An opportunity to visit cities in the Middle East is always good. The Costa Toscana is a fairly new ship and it was a great trip on board.
The balcony cabin is very spacious - largest bathroom I have been in so far. The balcony was very large too.
We had the My Drinks package which includes a bottle of water each per day. Good coffee places around as well , it is an Italian ship after ...
The ship is stunning. Very stylish design.our cabin was adequate in size. We had a premium balcony cabin on deck 17. The glass between the shower and the main cabin is a silly design feature though as if someone puts the bathroom light on during the night it lights up the whole room. There was a bit of a lack of storage but we managed. We were lucky in that we were just under 50% capacity on this ...
chose this cruise because of the ports of call and the cost which was much cheaper than other cruise lines
the cabin was fine , clean and all that is needed.....large balcony to sunbathe.
ok , the italians like to push in at the buffet for food but if you are not happy with that the restaurant is open to get served. i was in no hurry . waiters giving good service.
drink packages are ...
We chose this cruise especially for the weather in this region at this time of the year. We traveled with a group of sixteen people. Four families with children between 15 and 23 years old.The procedure for boarding and disembarking was childishly simple and hardly time consuming.
You can see that the ship comes at age but everything was in excellent condition. And the staff were visibly busy ...
Have just returned from short cruise, and was concerned on the poor reviews on Costa Cruises. However, we found very little to complain about, and thought it excellent value. Embarkation was very easy, our premium balcony cabin was large, clean and comfortable.The decor on the ship in public areas is rather gaudy, but as someone pointed out, by the second day you didn’t notice it! The food was ...
I guess we went with an open mind. As they say..." when in Rome - do as the Romans do" so we adjusted our expectations but ended up enjoying the experience of an Italian themed ship - from the over the top Italian decor to pasta everyday with our meals. We were worried after reading the reviews but I realized that North Americans just cruise differently from Europeans...no bottomless ice teas and ...
We start our cruise from Dubai. I called before it and checked when embarkation starts to Costa hot line. They confirmed at 8 om so we stayed in our hotel and arrived 7.30 pa.
No lines, very quickly registration and we got our cabin immediately. I was surprised as before with MSC or Royal Caribbean we had to wait for a while. Cabin not big but very comfortable and well organised. So we 2 ...
Arrived at the port at 3pm after a late check out from our hotel. Embarkation was a breeze. Purchased drinks package prior to sailing and was able to use it immediately. Ok, our cabin wasn't ready till 8pm, but we knew that prior to sailing so we were prepared.
Food was surprisingly good, pasta dishes were great. We had lovely fillet mignon, delicious king prawns and tasty fish. Our waiters ...
