Costa Fervolosa Cruise. Review
Employees:
With exception of one on the third floor, at the reception table, all others were sweet, gentle and willing to help.
Big kudos to the cashier at the Amarillo Ice Cream and coffee place. He is very gentil. Also kudos to the Indian employees at the cheeseburger joint. They are amazing.
The App:
The app is a joke. It doesn’t work when you ...
I hadn't cruised with Costa before, but with 5 other lines. The itinerary (Spain to Brazil) interested me as a biologist and natural history photographer, and the price was very reasonable, probably because the relocation nature and the lack of port visits meant the ship was (according to the crew) about half empty. My double cabin, for one person and no single supplement, was outstanding value ...
Terrible experience. A constant struggle against the the very unhappy and agressive employees, bad and scarce food, bad or absent service, bad organization and lack of customer service on all ends. Very long waiting lines everywhere and for everything. Salad was a luxury good on board. Either one day carrots or one day bell pepper. Both was.impossible. Generally not a very good quality, neither ...
What should have been a relaxing cruise for two ended up as a constant battle against a ship and its crew.
There was no hospitality on board, worst cruise experience I have ever had. At one point I had to fear for my life and not one person would take responsibility. We were stuck in line on deck 2 with over 100 other passenger for more than a hour with no information or assistance, only after ...
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 ...
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 ...
We chose this cruise because of the dates and the itinerary, which fit with other travel plans. Also, the price for the cruise was extremely reasonable compared to other cruise lines making the same itinerary. However, we were hesitant about booking with Costa, largely because of the negative reviews on this and other sites from U.S. Citizens.
But I must conclude that these negative reviews ...
I can't even begin to start, the captain is a terrible driver we were on the 9th floor and we felt the ship moving so bad that the whole family got sick the food is extra and the buffet food is the same every day we couldn't even play bingo correctly without people yelling about the numbers and it was rigged to drop down from 5000 to 500 dollars no one ever wins the 5000$ I suggest if your gonna ...
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 ...
