I know Costa as a place for great Italian food, vibrant entertainment, beautiful ships and a well functioning service. Now I took just a short time out on a repositioning cruise around Western Europe. I wanted to sail on Costa Firenze, because she and her sister Venezia caused very positive and very negative reactions and I wanted to have an impression on my own before the ship will leave the ...
Costa Toscana.. where to start.. lots to discuss
For perspective purposes, I've never cruised the Med before, but I have cruised Alaska, Mexico and the Caribbean. I've traveled on NCL, RCCL, Princess, Carnival, Disney (and now Costa) on various 3-9 day itineraries so I consider myself to be a fairly seasoned cruiser in terms of expectations. I've traveled with little babies and now with young ...
First time cruisers, wife booked it for my birthday!
I would like to firstly like to say a massive thank you to Kayleigh our English speaking rep onboard for making our cruise a memorable one and going the extra mile to help us!
A really big thanks goes to all the crew and workers on the Diadema, they were brilliant!
Admittedly the vessel is getting a bit old and tired but very clean and ...
We just got back from our first ever cruise with Costa Toscana in the Med and we had a really wonderful time, The boat is amazing. You can fully walk the top 2 decks and the 7 and 8th deck you can walk almost all the way around. This means the views and outside space no matter what time of day are breathtaking.
We had a balcony room, mid ship. It was really nicely decorated, practical and the ...
Cabin -
I paid for an interior but got bumped up to a balcony at no additional cost. The cabins are very clean and nicely decorated. I found the bed comfortable but have some odd choices such as the interior glass screen between the bathroom and bedroom with a curtain plus the lack of a fridge is an issue.
Dining -
The food is orientated towards the Italian, French and Spanish guests ...
We booked this cruise in 2019 to sail in June of 2020, and we all know how that story ends. When the world shut down, we opted to take the voucher offered by Costa which offered us the ability to rebook a cruise with a suite #15010 (vs a terrace cabin which we originally booked) and have the highest-level drink package which covered all the soft drinks and alcohol we needed. The Suite guests have ...

I am writing this from the perspective of an American with lots of cruise experience with Carnival. As the title indicates this was our first cruise in the Med after many Caribbean, Alaska and West coast of Mexico cruises. We sailed round trip from Rome. Technically we sailed from Civitavecchia, the port that services inland Rome. Most of our cruise experience is with Carnival but we sailed with ...
