We have never tried a Costa cruise before and when a 7 night itinerary came out for Singapore to Hong Kong (part of a 14 night Singapore - Singapore cruise) we thought we would give it a go.
Costa were trying to encourage the Australian market and were offering reasonable fares considering the lateness of our booking. We decided to give it a go.
I will be making some negative comments in this review, but I must preface them by saying that the weekend we left for Singapore was the very same weekend that left thousands of people stranded all over the world. This was to create some problems for Costa, and may have had an influence on some of our complaints.
spacious cabin, no evidence of it being a smoking cabin (although smoking is allowed in cabins if requested)
Quiet enough being a few doors away from the elevators.
Big porthole, although bed is positioned with your head where the porthole is, so you do not naturally look out of it when in bed.
