I've been on many cruises, but this was our first, but not our last Costa cruise. Embarkation and debarkation were among the quickest I've experienced on any line. Costa knows how to move a large number of people.
Before the cruise, I read a lot about people butting into line, but only experienced this one time in seven days. The thing I found most annoying was the fact when the elevator doors opened, people would push their way inside, not allowing the people trying to get off access to the door. More than once, I was not allowed to get off the elevator at my selected floor due to those pushing in.
The Fortuna is a lovely ship and a perfect size. Our stateroom was on the 11th floor and we were pleasantly surprised to find our "window" was actually a floor to ceiling window that slightly extended outward. A table and chair made the area as good as a balcony.
