Very disappointing.

We were a family group of 10 people, ranging in ages 4 to 74. Costa brought cruising to a very low level indeed and left us with a bitter taste of rip-off. Please bear in mind that the older couple has been taking cruising vacations for 42 years, so are not green travellers. On a very basic level, Costa does NOT even provide a free glass of water - only at breakfast and lunch meal times - & ...

Terrible experience. A constant struggle against the the very unhappy and agressive employees, bad and scarce food, bad or absent service, bad organization and lack of customer service on all ends. Very long waiting lines everywhere and for everything. Salad was a luxury good on board. Either one day carrots or one day bell pepper. Both was.impossible. Generally not a very good quality, neither ...

I had a particularly bad cruise experience on the Costa Toscana. I have been on a cruise 11 times but have never had such a bad cruise experience, including last week on the Costa Toscana.) had a My Drinks drinks package but was not allowed to order at the bar. I had to sit on a chair and wait for the waiter to come. This always took a very long time. Of course I tried to get the waiter's ...

I am an experienced cruise traveler but I have never had such a bad cruise experience. The food was very poor, cold and dried out. At the buffets you were not allowed to serve yourself, but the staff had to do it and there were far too few staff. You were not allowed to get drinks from the bars but had to wait for service. and there was too little service. therefore I could not use my My Drinks ...

I chose this cruise as it was part of the Ryder Cup official sponsor. Shame on the PGA for picking such an inferior partner and 3rd party to coordinate this vacation. It was awful and a waste of €4 thousand! The lack of communications, misinformation and just complete discombobulated events made this a horrible waste of time, ports and events.

What should have been a relaxing cruise for two ended up as a constant battle against a ship and its crew. There was no hospitality on board, worst cruise experience I have ever had. At one point I had to fear for my life and not one person would take responsibility. We were stuck in line on deck 2 with over 100 other passenger for more than a hour with no information or assistance, only after ...

I was expecting a relaxing cruise. I just love the fact you do not need to plan anything. In this cruise planning was the difference between getting caught up on busy main road or a chicken farm. The buffet service staff were horrible, probably cause of the constant chaos. >Opening times not respected >Queues were like 20 minutes long. >Serving time once you get to the counters was ...

Went on the Costa Toscana on a med cruise 19th August 2023 with my husband and three teenage kids. It was not a pleasant experience and, given the price, we are bitterly disappointed. It’s not a luxury experience even though some of the decor is upmarket, we just felt hassled most of the time. First big problem - overcrowding. Buffet heaving busy like the rush hour underground. Tired looking ...

We just got off the boat. Worst cruise ship experience I have ever had. I traveled from Greece to Rome and from Rome to Civitavecchia. I took a shower and the cold water didn't work. Literally a hot bath with 30 degrees Celsius outside.Not only that but the bath overflowed. They repaired it at midnight. Also, I paid for a cabin with a balcony and I didn't even see the sky, because above my ...
