Costa Diadema Review

Additional details
My friend and I had often looked at cruises but were both very wary about seasickness. Whenever shopping we would always pick out outfits that would be 'good for our cruise'. In comment this June, I said 'We have loads of cruise outfits but no cruise", so we decided to bite the bullet.
As I was travelling from the Canary Islands and my friend from the UK, we decided to choose Barcelona as our start and finish port and after a lot of investigation, booked with Costa and the Costa Diadema.
We wanted a balcony cabin and with this we also booked the Piu Gusto drink package (well worth the money) and also took the opportunity of the Special offer of 99€ for 5 excursions (the price on board at the Welcome meeting was 149€).
Cabin Review
Classic Balcony
As first timers, we did not know what to expect but the cabin was a very good size - I have had hotel rooms that have been worse! There was plenty of room to move around, wardrobe space/drawers, hangers etc. It's a good idea to take a small adapter plug if two of you need to charge up mobiles/ipads etc as there is only one plug.
All cabins have a mini bar and also have a hairdryer which was quite powerful.
Remember that travel irons and hair straighteners will be confiscated upon boarding and returned to you when you disembark.
