Although izzit international cruise, but the food was not international. Terrible food, Food was cold, and cruise was quite old, casino is very small.
And we had to queue long time for the food.
Food was really bad on the ship. Repeated food for breakfast and lunch buffets.
And no assistant to guide us about the room key, coz we are bunch of elderly, don’t know how to read instruction, no ...
Went on a two week (back to back) cruise with my sister and my adult daughter. Girls cruise! SO excited. First time with Costa. We all enjoyed the cultural experience. Very few English speaking guests on board. We don't speak Italian or French but they had specific English embarkation and de-embarkation talks and any relevant announcements were given in 4 or 5 languages. The ship was ...
Our 3 main reasons for choosing a cruise were: 1) Relaxation, 2) good food, and 3) experiencing foreign cultures. Unfortunately we did't get any of it!
Ad 1), The moment we entered the ship we found out that hundreds of young people were on board as well, and they had brought their own music, which they played loudly and constantly, especially around the pool-areas, so if you were more than 25 ...
We have chosen the itinerary not the ship but as the agency recommended this ship as a 5 stars from Costa fleet I expected the best of it. Well unfortunately expectations were far too high compared to reality.
First of all is not a 5 stars and if I take the quality of the cabin and restaurant grounds is not even 4, I would give it a maximum of 3.
The whole ship looks like it would have been ...
What we liked about the tour:
• The room was an ideal size and the placement of the bed was nice so you could walk around it and could see out the window.
• Lighting in the room was more than adequate, except bedside lamps are ineffective.
• Not having to listen to the Tour Director or Captain deliver a message each day.
• Being able to disembark freely shortly after the ship arrives ...
Our embarkation was in Guadeloupe which does not give you many options from Canada. But learning that it is a French island flights from Montreal are direct and worth going.
Costa did not offer transfers from airport to ship but a taxi ride was 20. Euro and if you can share it's a good deal.
I did not explore Guadeloupe as much as I wished, perhaps next time, the taxi ride from the airport ...
Overall a very good cruise with tending to excellence for me as a single passenger. Boarding was a bit delayed, because of some officials for boarder control hadn’t been in time, but however I was onboard within 35 minutes from official start of boarding. Costa succeeded to get me onboard within 20 min on an earlier cruise elsewhere, but for me the second fast boarding ever anyway. As I didn’t ...

We chose this cruise line/ship for the Italian style/language/culture having family from Italy. We have been on the Costa Victoria before and like it very much.
Although cruise lines have cut back on some the features like full scale entertainment and midnight buffet, the overall experience is very good.
I have read many poor reviews of Costa Magica but most the negatives are due to a ...
Choose this cruise because of departure port. Been in Suites on NCL Royal Caribbean and Princess. Food whilst good was ruined by very poor service. Drinks were particularly slow to come. On one occasion I sent my main course back (after two previous courses I was still waiting for wine). Had to escalate issue to Maître De before obtaining any improvement. Same could have been said for bar service. ...
