I was expecting a relaxing cruise. I just love the fact you do not need to plan anything. In this cruise planning was the difference between getting caught up on busy main road or a chicken farm.
The buffet service staff were horrible, probably cause of the constant chaos.
>Opening times not respected
>Queues were like 20 minutes long.
>Serving time once you get to the counters was ...
Went on the Costa Toscana on a med cruise 19th August 2023 with my husband and three teenage kids.
It was not a pleasant experience and, given the price, we are bitterly disappointed. It’s not a luxury experience even though some of the decor is upmarket, we just felt hassled most of the time.
First big problem - overcrowding. Buffet heaving busy like the rush hour underground. Tired looking ...
Trip from IJmuiden to the Shetland islands and Iceland and back. Reading all the reviews I don't need to add much more comment. Costa is not learning from the reviews people are writing . In short: food is always cold/ extra payment for water!!!!/ extra payment for frenche fries/ pizza/ snacks.
Embarkation was a chaos in IJmuiden. Much too less tender boats in some harbours with resulted in ...
Beginning of August, I went 7 days cruise with my husband to Europe.
One of the worst vacations and most expensive by far! Be aware people, if you breath they will charge you. They even charge for stuff that gets canceled later, and of course they will not refund you back your money. When you go downstairs to discuss the refund, they will tell you to wait until your trip ends so all money will ...
I took Costa Serena from Taiwan Keelun to Okinawa and ahi yuans island because of typhoon the cruise canceled our trip to Shiyuan but change our schedule to Okinawa and shortage all the time and stay a long que to get out of the cruise and manage is very bad and all the soft drinks no apply and food is very bad.
And always change our schedule no one speak to passengers all the people talk to ...
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 off the boat. Worst cruise ship experience I have ever had.
I traveled from Greece to Rome and from Rome to Civitavecchia. I took a shower and the cold water didn't work. Literally a hot bath with 30 degrees Celsius outside.Not only that but the bath overflowed. They repaired it at midnight. Also, I paid for a cabin with a balcony and I didn't even see the sky, because above my ...
Very bad ship, food and management
Everything was far below normal standards
No heating in the buffet restaurant in iceland and greenland
You had to eat with thick socks and coat on
A lot op people got sick with the flu during this cruises
We both were sick for one week
There was a lot of sneezing.
No hygienic measures for the guests.
Hand sanitizers were mostly ...
I chose this cruise because it was going to Greenland.
I boarded in Bremerhaven.
Boarding there was chaotic.
We had opted for an inside cabin, because it is financially better.
In addition, we had booked a number of excursions.
In IJmuiden a day of your own in Amsterdam.
On the boat it was again chaotic, the time that we had to report was exceeded, without us being informed by ...
