Costa Cruise Reviews

It was my first time on a cruise ship with my family. Over all I think it was a VERY nice experience. The cruise had many activities for all age groups: Teen Club (ages 12-18) and Squok club for 11 and under. We took the cruise in june. I recommend traveling with Costa during the summer, since the prices are especially low during the start of june (although the prices rise at the end of august). ...

Recently refurbished and wonderfully European. You will be disappointed if looking for an American style cruise, this one is more 'understated elegance'. Food was delicious in all restaurants and bars. Would recommend highly the gelateria Amarillo - ice cream with an ocean view? Yes, please! This gelateria served up a delightful array of gelato flavors, and it became my daily ritual to indulge in ...

We just got back from our first ever cruise with Costa Toscana in the Med and we had a really wonderful time, The boat is amazing. You can fully walk the top 2 decks and the 7 and 8th deck you can walk almost all the way around. This means the views and outside space no matter what time of day are breathtaking. We had a balcony room, mid ship. It was really nicely decorated, practical and the ...

I just went on my first cruise on the Costa Toscana and I loved it! Great food, fantastic crew and a beautiful ship. The ship is very new and feels very luxurious. It's a big ship, so I needed a few days to know my way around. Everywhere in the ship are interactive boards where you can find all info about decks, daily programm and restaurants. You also can find all this in a very usefull ...

First off, I think I owe the previous reviewers an apology! We sailed with Costa previously some years ago and felt very comfortable being English speakers and enjoyed spending time with our European counterparts, we felt that things couldn't be that different and perhaps it was just people not really used to being surrounded by the European Culture. However once boarding we soon realised that ...

Completed a transatlantic from US to,Barcelona. The Costa Smeralda did a Mediterranean cruise 2 days after our transatlantic and went to ports we wished to see, such as Sicily, Rome… Upon boarding, we were advised we needed to download the Costa App in order to get the daily news, events, times & menus. U.S Americans could not download the app (due to incompatibility between Costa & ...

I readed a lots of bad reviews about Costa Smeralda. Most of them are from Covid time, so I don't know if it was due to restrictions or Costa Smeralda improved the services but I have only good experiences with travelling on Costa Smeralda. The ship is nice, very clean, food was really good and the stuff was very nice and friendly. I Was afraid at first that so big ship will be overcrowded but it ...

Costa was chosen due to ports of calls, and past experience on Costa many years ago. From day 1 cruise was a disappointment. Four of us seated at 2 different tables. Waiter could care less about my wife and I at our own table. Food when it did arrive was coolish at best. It got worse everyday. This was not a cruise but a ferry ride as passengers embarked and disembark at every port. Talking to ...

After complaining several times at reception that the cabin assigned did not comply with the characteristics contracted as being 3 adults neither the space nor the type of beds was correct, apart from not corresponding to the photos which are provided by themselves, and in the event that I had seen that picture of cabin logically I would not have hired it. The response from reception was that the ...

To begin, I'd like to share some background about my cruising experience. Over the past 30 years, my wife and I have embarked on 43 cruises with various cruise lines, such as Seabourn, Regent, Oceania, Viking, Norwegian, Celebrity, Princess, Royal Caribbean, Carnival, MSC, and, of course, Costa. This review covers our recent 7-night cruise aboard the Costa Toscana, departing from Rome. On May ...
