Costa Classica Far East Cruise 5/11/2010
I have just returned from a Far East cruise on the Costa Classica, taking in HongKong Manila, Kota Kinabalu, Brunei Singapore Ho chi Minh city Da nang & Sanya.
The review I am about to give is purely my opinion, with odd comments made by other passengers who asked me to include things in my review. It will be construed by some as 'petty' in some areas and that is deliberate, as all these irritations accumulatively made for some very unhappy passengers. We selected this cruise purely for the destinations which I will review in a separate article. I have tried to remain objective having cruised with other lines previously.
Cabin Review
The cabin was an outside on deck 5. It was reasonably spacious but in need of some serious repairs - bathroom door catch, wardrobe doors, wall decor, bathroom redecoration. It had wafer thin walls and was extremely noisy. Neighbours could be heard quite clearly. The bed was reasonably comfortable. It lacked creature comforts of other lines like dressing gowns, there was no creative towel folding of other cruises. No bed turn down or night time chocolates. Cleaning cart almost permanently outside our cabin.
