We are experienced cruisers and had cruised on Costa Atlantica previously and based upon that experience decided to book this Christmas cruise at the last minute. It was a nice ten day itinerary, good ports of calls and duration in the ports. Embarkation was breeze at 2.00 PM and self-disembarked at 7:30 AM was a breeze as well.

Dining experience (vegetarian perspective) was the worst on this ship. Very-very limited choice for the vegetarians in the buffet and the main restaurant. On numerous occasions we had to sustain on same old spaghetti. Even the salad area on deck nine was severely limited. Being the Italian ship, one would expect a good pizza. Sadly, it was very rubbery & chewy.

Entertainment in the main theater was ok for four (out of ten) evenings and poor on other evenings. Entertainment on the deck nine pool area was lack luster and childish. Cruise director Max's performance was lacking. His usual final evening comment was: "... I am out of here". Guess we were expecting too much based upon our previous experience on Costa Atlantica with cruise director Andrea, he was awesome.
