Our first transatlantic cruise and first time with Costa. After reading the Costa Pacifica reviews on this site I was not expecting too much from our cruise so thank you to all those who lowered our expectations because we loved virtually every minute of this cruise, particularly the food which was at times borderline Michelin. More positives include one of the largest spa facilities on any cruise ...
With this report, we would like to express our gratitude for the excellent experience and top-notch quality. We recently enjoyed a cruise on the Costa Diadema ship. We wish to commend the organization of events and concerts, as well as the exceptional hospitality of the staff. We felt genuinely welcomed, from the cabin crew to the waitstaff, officers, embarkation and disembarkation team. The only ...
We wanted to visit Palermo, as my mom’s grandmother taught school there prior to coming to the US. This cruise was perfect for us and took us to so many beautiful ports; it was also refreshing to not have a cruise director/party central interrupting every hour or two. We enjoyed most meals, we had no problems with seating in the breakfast and afternoon tea buffets on deck 5 and 6 dining rooms ...
We took a cruise with Costa Firenze in July 2023 from Kiel to North Europa (Denmark & Norway). It was our first cruise with Costa and we were a little bit sceptical as our last cruise with a italien cruise company (MSC) was a huge disappointment.
Embarkation in Kiel was really smooth, friendly stuff and everything great organized. Within 20 mins we were on Board. On Board we were welcomed by a ...
We chose this cruise because of the dates and the itinerary, which fit with other travel plans. Also, the price for the cruise was extremely reasonable compared to other cruise lines making the same itinerary. However, we were hesitant about booking with Costa, largely because of the negative reviews on this and other sites from U.S. Citizens.
But I must conclude that these negative reviews ...
This was our first cruise and was surprised how much we enjoyed it.
The food was excellent, breakfast lunch sometimes and dinner, just chose a quieter restaurant and it changes the whole experience.
For breakfast and lunch you can choose your restaurant from the many available, for dinner you are allocated a restaurant and time from a choice of 3 evening sittings,if you are not happy with ...
Just back from a great week on Costa Toscana, Booked this cruise whilst onboard the same ship when it was in Dubai. Booking onboard gives you a discount off the cruise fare price, rather than Onboard Spend which other cruise lines offer. At the moment it is 10% so can be a quite significant discount.
With Costa on most of their cruises you can board at any point it stops at generally, so I ...
It was my first time on a cruise ship with my family. Over all I think it was a VERY nice experience. The cruise had many activities for all age groups: Teen Club (ages 12-18) and Squok club for 11 and under. We took the cruise in june. I recommend traveling with Costa during the summer, since the prices are especially low during the start of june (although the prices rise at the end of august). ...
I just went on my first cruise on the Costa Toscana and I loved it! Great food, fantastic crew and a beautiful ship.
The ship is very new and feels very luxurious. It's a big ship, so I needed a few days to know my way around.
Everywhere in the ship are interactive boards where you can find all info about decks, daily programm and restaurants. You also can find all this in a very usefull ...
I readed a lots of bad reviews about Costa Smeralda. Most of them are from Covid time, so I don't know if it was due to restrictions or Costa Smeralda improved the services but I have only good experiences with travelling on Costa Smeralda. The ship is nice, very clean, food was really good and the stuff was very nice and friendly. I Was afraid at first that so big ship will be overcrowded but it ...
