We have travelled several times with the Costa. Always with great satisfaction, but this ship is really awful. Crowded with shouting and screaming children. What a terrible noisy and badly runned ship. Everything is concentrated on the Italians, while there are so many different nationalities on board. But that does not count on this ship. Food in the restaurant was not well prepared. The buffet ...
I was interested in doing the islands of the Western Mediterranean and after a fair amount of research the Costa Fascinosa had just what I wanted.
There were any amount of queries from friends and family...why Costa? My answer was ‘the route’.
I must say that from the point of embarkation the whole trip was a delight. We had a mini suite which was neat and clean, fruits, sparkling wine, a ...
First time with Costa Cruises. The ship and accommodation was magnificent. The entertainment in the theatre and by the Latin dance team was excellent. Room cleaning was good. Bar waiters do not harass you to buy drinks, they ask once and place a napkin on your table to signify to other waiters that you have been dealt with.
However, I thought Costa let themselves down in several ways.
1. On ...
The ship was excellent always clean and well maintained well done to the captain and his entire crew. The Latin dance lessons was brilliant and well presented best we've had. The entertainment was Plentyfull something for everyone on board. A high standard was set by the entertainers on the ship.
The crew in general was excellent. The service on deck 9 in the buffet lounge was good the food ...
My Costa Cruise experience
My husband and I are celebrating out 10th wedding anniversary. We chose a Costa cruise through the Mediterranean to celebrate. From the onset of this cruise it has been disappointment after disappointment. The service, the food, the petty costs (service fee abound) and the never ending sales pitches to sell more and more all contribute to that disappointment. Not ...
Introduction.
If you only want to read a "short and sweet" review, stop now and read a different review. If you want to learn about the kind of cruise product Costa is offering the South American market, read on and you might find this review informative.
A brief word about my cruise experience to give a measure of insight into my observations. I have been on approximately 80 cruises on all ...
We booked this cruise because of its destinations and reasonable price. Having been on Costa before on several occasions, we were aware of the potential problem with few english speaking passengers but this did not detract from our enjoyment.
We travelled as a group of 8 younger pensioners into dancing and activities, all of which were excellent.
Even the six days at sea from Tenerife to ...
Wife and I were celebrating our 15th wedding anniversary and decided to take the Costa Lines Fascinosa cruise from Argentina, to Brazil, Uruguay and back. Some things were good like the nice cabin with a balcony and a cabin boy (Joao) that made life easy for us with great cabin service and a constant friendly smile. The Samsara Spa experience at their thermal baths package was a good value for a ...
We booked this cruise at the last minute and then went on this review forum and found lots of bad comments which of course worried both myself and my wife. We couldn't disagree more with all the negative reviews as this was one of the best cruises we have been on. (5 previously).
Embarkation was easy in Barcelona our cases were taken at the entrance and 20 minutes later we were on board having ...
We have been on about 5 cruises before this one and i can honestly say that this was WORSE then any other.
Food was absolutely disgusting (when you could get it) the ship itself is beautiful but the organisation on board is none existent breakfast is basic, lunch is basic "both the same by the way", evening meal you could have fitted all 4 courses on a small side plate. we paid 28 euros each ...
