Costa Cruise Reviews

Don't take it! We did it on her first week and we regret the money we spent. Yes, Diadema si new and big but don't expect services as on the other ships or cruise companies unless you are OK with spending thousands of dollars more for the paid services on board. Diadema is made that way is driving you to the paid services. For example, in the regular restaurant during diner, the food is coming ...

We travelled by coach to Barcelona (provided by our Spanish travel agent) The Ship was new and beautiful clean inside and out. Cabins were roomy with lots of facilities including flat screen large tv two wardrobes and lots of drawer and shelf space space.Couch and coffee table. Restaurants and food was excellent with may choices of courses. an earlier review said thwew were no buffet ...

We have cruised many times, but only twice on Costa. ( 14 times on RCCL, 4 on Celebrity, 2 on Carnival, 3 on Princess,etc) We understand that once it was bought by Carnival, the quality of service would go down to Carnival’s level. Well… It went way down from Carnival’s level Costa Diadema Nov 11 to 18 - 2014 from Palma de Maiorca,The food, was horrible, the Filipino and Indonesian service was ...

I enjoyed this cruise and the ship a lot! First things first, you have to remember that it is an Italian Cruise line so everything is general chaos. Boarding, not having your prepaid beverage and excursion packages set right is to be expected (especially if you booked in the US). I arrived in the Venice train station, Expedia never forwarded the luggage tags so it was a chore getting my luggage to ...

Costa may be part of Carnival Lines now but they are miles away on being even close to the Carnival or Princess Lines. The only positive on the 18 days was the serving staff both in the restaurant and bars. The worst part was having 18 days of the most horrific food I have ever encountered on a ship or even for that matter on land. The menu choice was poor. The translation from what they thought ...

This was our second Costa cruise, our previous was on the Costa Concordia a few weeks before she sank and we found the Concordia much more glamorous and classy. We boarded in Malta and that was very efficient. We were also impressed with the emergency drill was was done prior to sailing. Our cabin with a balcony was clean and beds were comfortable cabin 8372. The dinner was the second sitting at ...

Boarded quickly to a very friendly reception, cabin spotless and spacious and large luggage delivered to us in just 10 Minutes by a very cheerful member of staff. Food and drink plentiful. There were many options for choosing restaurants and each morning we ate in the Florantino and had a full English breakfast . Bacon, Fried or scrambled egg sausage, hash brown, mushrooms ,beans and ...

We just came back from Costa Diadema. This was our 4th cruise and first time Costa. We enjoyed it very much. Since it is a new ship, I would like to provide some reviews for people who want to know how it went or plan to go in the future. Airport to port: Our flight delayed to Nice. When we booked the cruise, we called Travel agent to add the airport transfer. It was easier and cheaper comparing ...

My wife and I sailed on the Costa NeoRiviera on November From Savona to Dubai. We flew from NY to Istambul and spent three glorious days before heading to Genoa to embark on our cruise. We arrived in Genoa went to the Best Western City Hotel checked in an took a taxi to Portofino for the afetrnnon.. Next day took a taxi to Savona for $120.00 Euros. Savona cruise terminal is about half hour ...

We sailed on the Costa Fascinocia Greek Isle Cruise in Nov 2014. The good things: ship very clean and cabin attendant was wonderful and happy all the time! Pizza in the specialty / pay xtra for was really good.. had taste and variety, espresso and cappuchino's good. lots of cold cuts/ meat if you are in to that. Now for the bad.... Very few restaurant choices...Food was absolutely horrible.. ...
