The ship is stunning. Very stylish design.our cabin was adequate in size. We had a premium balcony cabin on deck 17. The glass between the shower and the main cabin is a silly design feature though as if someone puts the bathroom light on during the night it lights up the whole room. There was a bit of a lack of storage but we managed. We were lucky in that we were just under 50% capacity on this ...
All of the staff spoke great English and we never had any problems with communication. They were also kind and patient to all of the guests.
The entertainment was plentiful. There was always something going on. We especially enjoyed the evening shows in the theater.
There was gym available on the ship, but we found that on cruising day it was too accommodate everyone that wanted to use ...
We chose this cruise because of the time it was going and the stops it was making. We had never been on a Costa cruise but thought it would be OK because we have been on many different cruise lines and they have all been good, some better than others in certain areas, but all satisfactory.
Costa was disappointing in almost every area. The web site did not work well and was frustrating to use ...
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 ...
Staff was very helpfull, food was fantastic. Overall I give it a 10 out of 10 in the main restaurant. We are family and we will definately use Costa Deliziosa again.
Great enternainment, overall proffesional outfit. We only did the 7 night Adriatic sea from Piraeus, rainy weather and ports visited exceed expectations.
The balconies just give you something special. Don't take any drink ...
This was a rebooking due to COVID cancellations going back to 2020. The cruise was one of quite a few Costa cruises that we have previously enjoyed.
Our booking included a Bus transfer, Flight Transfer and return Flight, Health Insurance, Flight, as well as My Drinks package
The bus transfer to Savona was comfortable, uneventful and arrived on time.
Boarding was quick, as all formalities ...
We chose this cruise based on the itinerary. We have cruised many times on several different cruise lines. We appreciate the ups and downs of cruising and have come to learn what to expect and not expect.
That said - this is not necessarily a criticism, simply a fact. If you are an English speaker, DO NOT TAKE THIS CRUISE. Sadly, we were ignorant of this. Let me be clear. WE were the ...
All us residents should read this review before opting for costa cruise lines (in europe) or this ship, the costa favolosa. If you are familiar with the “normal” us-type ships (e.g., carnival, royal caribbean, ncl, holland america, etc) then favolosa will come as a shock to you and the standards you are used to. i am not trying to be disparaging but simply stating the facts in comparison to ...
Venice to Trieste October 2022
Balcony cabin
The positives:
Great value for money. All inclusive with a drinks package was a good idea.
Wonderful crew on board. They were all cheerful, professional and welcoming.
Good drinks package. My Drinks.
Good food. We liked that it was light and the portions were not too big.
Cabin steward was excellent. He took a real pride in ...
If you are English speaking and want to take shore excursions don't book a cruise in Europe with Costa, Due to the lack of Numbers of English-speaking passengers there are very few excursions that are available, but you don't know that until you are on board and in most cases, you are advised a day or two before. The tours that you may be able to go on are with a guide who speaks at least 2 ...
