Fort Lauderdale (Port Everglades) Costa Mediterranea Cruise Reviews

My husband and I were "first timers" and traveled with another couple who had gone on a previous cruise. Costa was a new name to us, but our travel agent assured us that it was an excellent cruise line. We booked rather late, mid-February for a March 1 cruise and chose the option that included airfare. We were a little upset at having to leave home at 3:30 am to make a 6:00am flight, but this is ...

Embarkation...an utter breeze. We arrived at 1130 waited on line outside terminal for 5 minutes until they opened the doors and were on the ship in 20 minutes.painless and lots of friendly smiling faces leading the way.Got on ship and were pleasantly greeted by members of the animation team. Cabin..obstructed view outside cabin with french doors to let the air in. Was 200sft, incredibly ...

Of all the cruises we've been on, our spring break trip on the Costa Mediterranea was one of the best! Embarkation went smoothly and quickly, due to the fact that Costa had many agents available to answer questions and point us in the right direction. Also, our bags were delivered to the room shortly after we boarded the ship. The rooms were much more spacious than the other cruises we have been ...

Back from a 7 day voyage on the Costa med all I can say is what a value for your vacation dollar. I have been on many lines and I kid you not I really enjoyed cruising Italian style. Embarkation: Arrived at 2:00pm in my cabin by 2:15 need I say more A+ Cabin I had a cat 9 balcony and it was bigger the most lines standard cabin. Loved the couch and the balcony was huge. Cabin gets an A, however ...

Our only cruise experiences - Star Cruises (small,friendly but brilliant destinations) & NCL Pride of America in Hawaii (Disappointed). Got bargain deal on cruise in package so went thinking if it is not so good at least we haven`t spent alot of money! My partner & myself thoroughly enjoyed ourselves; would look for Costa again & would recommend particularly to Brits / Europeans for Caribbean ...

The Costa Mediterranea. Feb 2 - 8, 2008. the eastern Caribbean with stops at San Juan, PR; St. Thomas; La Romana, DR; and Grand Turk. Altogether, Costa Mediterranea, was a real vacation value. Even though we booked a guaranteed obstructed balcony, we were assigned an unobstructed balcony on deck seven. Embarkation was easy. We had flown in the day before and rented a car to explore Ft. ...

This is our 4th cruise overall (Holland America, Princess and Royal Caribbean), but our 1st on Costa. We chose Costa because of the good reviews for dancing. We had a great time. It seemed like a lot of the other passengers complained about the service and entertainment. It is all in what you expect. Please consider that Costa is a more conservative, low key cruise line and probably lacks a lot ...

After 8 cruises we decided to sail Costa for something different. And it was a wonderful cruise. The ship is beautiful, all week long some new discovery in art work or sculpture. Definitely felt like I have visited Italy. Enjoyed this ship as if it had been my first cruise. Embarkment: Arrived at ship 11:55am and boarded in about 10 minutes. Had the photo done and entered with music playing, a ...

Booking: We needed a break, so we booked about 3 weeks in advance. My husband is a veteran of the Navy, so we booked an outside balcony cabin on the back of the ship for $549/piece. Were able to book airfare direct to Fort Lauderdale through Delta at $240/piece, so very affordable getaway! Departure: Flew out of Port Columbus at 9:40am, direct flight to Lauderdale on Delta. Flight took just over ...

We are a couple in our fifties traveling without kids. Cruise was booked 8 days prior to sailing. I had one week off between jobs. Let's see....clean the house or book a last minute cruise..hmm....Internet research led us to the Costa Mediterrannea. Seven prior cruises were all on NCL. We love NCL and freestyle, but after sailing Costa, we now love Costa too. Jetblue non-stop Boston to FLL ...
