This is our 15th cruise, we sailed with such companies as Celebrity, MSC, Carnival, Royal Carribean, NCL, Costa.
This time we sailed for a cruise on the Norwegian fjords on the Costa Pacifica (04-07 to 15-07). This cruise surprised us so much that we decided to write a review in English. The food on the ship is horrible in general and the whole service, every day on deck 9, a choice of 3 kinds ...
We booked this cruise for a wedding anniversary.
6 months in advance we booked the cruise. On advise of Neckermann Cruises we also booked all our excursions on line a few days later, what gave us on some excursions discounts up to 35%. We choose English for all excursions.
When arriving it was well organized and we got on board: impressive and a very nice clean cabin with balcony that was ...
We chose this cruise for the itinerary and we were not disappointed. We enjoyed every port of call, stunning scenery combined with history and beautiful buildings. The Costa Pacifica was a lovely ship with lots to offer. We dined in the Blue Moon restaurant and the food was excellent as was the waiter service. We had a fantastic wine waiter called Herberton who was excellent at his job. ...
Chose this cruise because it fit well within a month long european trip, and got a good rate ($500 pp). Always wanted to visit Norway, so what the heck.
Cruise leaves from Steinwarder dock, which is the hardest one to get to. Some fellow cruisers were under the impression that the cruiseline was running a free shuttle from the central train station to port, but that was not the case. FYI, ...
I traveled with my wife and 2 children (aged 9 and 12) to Kiel to for our cruise on board the Costa Pacifica from August 5 to 16. The embarkation process took a couple of hours. We boarded the ship and found our way to our inside cabin. Since we had been on board the sister ship Favolosa in 2014, we were familiar with the ship's layout. The cabin was adequate and later found that our cabin steward ...
Notes & comments on our recent cruise.
Cruise facts: 12 day cruise on Costa Cruise line leaving from Hamburg, Germany, visiting 8 ports, final port of embarkation, Marseilles, France.
Boarded ship in Hamburg. Nice ship, comfortable cabin, Not perfect but OK. Dinner that night in main dining room, a 2 story room that seats 1300 people. Passengers speaking 5 different languages contributed to a ...
This has been the worst vacation I have ever had although the expectations were really high.
We were looking forward to going to the Norwegen fjords, escaping from the hot summer days and enjoying good food. Actually, we were promised that the food in the Costa Pacifica was amazing. To our disappointment, the food has been the worst I had payed for to dine out. I have to say I didn't have high ...
Before leaving on this cruise, I read some reviews on cruise critic and was a bit concerned, but the itinerary of this trip was too appealing. Now, I am wondering what people's expectations were? I found the staff extremely helpful, switching languages effortlessly and answering every question clearly. The cabin was lovely and constantly being tidied and cleaned.
I am celiac and the attention ...
We saw 9 countries in ten days and the sites were fabulous! The price for the 4 of us including taxes and port fees was $2170. The ship was clean and heavily decorated in a tacky manner. This is our 3rd cruise with Costa so we knew what we were getting and what we would never get with them. The only reason we travel with them is because they drop their price so dramatically in the US market when ...
Just returned from fjord cruise , this was our first cruise and as such was really ok, we chose the all inclusive option and seemed to work fine although there were no premium brand spirited the brands they used were unknown to us.
We had an outside cabin with balcony which was large enough and kept clean and tidy by our steward, on down side only English tv was news channel, mainly Italian and ...
