A complete mess. The food is tasteless, old, yesterday and cold. Breakfast includes yesterday's cold baked potatoes straight from the fridge. Omelet and scrambled eggs are cold and yesterday. Your kitchen food, tragedy and nightmare. There were not even fresh vegetables like fresh cucumbers or fresh tomatoes. There is no buffet. Food is rationed, the chefs do not understand what the customer ...
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 ...
Originally we chose this cruise mainly because of the ports it was due to stop at in Israel, Egypt and Cyprus, but this itinerary was amended when Israel declared war on the Palestinians and these ports were replaced by others in Turkey and Tunisia. This was obviously not the fault of Costa Cruises.
Overall we enjoyed the cruise, but not Costa and unfortunately we wouldn't ever travel with them ...
For the holidays me and my family went on a 7 night Mediterranean cruise with Costa Diadema. I did have somewhat of a high expectation because a lot of people were recommending us Costa, so we tried it to see how it really is for ourselves.
When we arrived at the port of Savona the boarding process was quite weird and I still don’t get it till this day. Before boarding on the ship you need to ...
We thought it would be fun to do this cruise. The places we arrived were nice. The cabin with balcony was very good. Food and drinks tasty. But, the crowds at the lifts and in the lifts, the crowds when leaving the boat and returning to the boat, the queues at reception and the fact that bars were regularly closed, which meant that the bar that was open was very busy. And you have to wait a long ...
We choose a nice cruise from Savona around the Mediterranian Sea.
But very bad service, unfriendly crew and bar members at the pool area and also in the main restaurant.
At a White Party Night, waiters going around with a trolley and want to sell you "White Sangria", you have to pay fot it extra. 6 Euro for a glass of Sangria !!
French fries / burgers after 5 pm also for extra paying ...
As a first time cruiser from South Africa, our family did the European cruise which was absolutely amazing from the ports we stopped at and being on the ship as a family. We enjoyed our time together although we were shocked at all the additional service fees charged from mandatory daily service fees (on top of an all inclusive package) as well as purchasing anything onboard e.g. a coke is ...
Trip from IJmuiden to the Shetland islands and Iceland and back. Reading all the reviews I don't need to add much more comment. Costa is not learning from the reviews people are writing . In short: food is always cold/ extra payment for water!!!!/ extra payment for frenche fries/ pizza/ snacks.
Embarkation was a chaos in IJmuiden. Much too less tender boats in some harbours with resulted in ...
Beginning of August, I went 7 days cruise with my husband to Europe.
One of the worst vacations and most expensive by far! Be aware people, if you breath they will charge you. They even charge for stuff that gets canceled later, and of course they will not refund you back your money. When you go downstairs to discuss the refund, they will tell you to wait until your trip ends so all money will ...
When one doesn’t eat well, one doesn’t travel well. We have to say that this was the worst cruise (of 7) that we’ve been on from the food perspective. For Italians, this should be seriously embarrassing.
If you’re going to take this cruise due to the route or timing, then best go for the pizza at their payable afternoon-only restaurant La Nostra Pizza. It won’t be your best pizza, but it’s ...
