The Berth is set in a commercial Dock so the views are so so but it is so easy to get into Barcelona and once you are there the Public Transport is cheap and easy to use and I never bore of Barca.

Barcelona

Easy to get get into the action (1.25 Euro into Placa De Espanya and from there you can get anywhere)

We took the Soller Train, then the Tram and got the Coastal Bus back, stopping at Valledemossa, thanks to the heads up from cruise critic.

MARVELLOUS

Palma de Mallorca (Majorca)

By far the most picturesque Port of the lot and the town has a shabby chic that you have to love.

Visited the Barraka Gardens
Co Cathedral (Fantastic)
and 'The Pub' (Where Oliver Reed drank his last drink. literally)

Be on deck as you come in and when the Sun sets, it is beautiful

Malta (Valletta)

I REALLY wanted to like Palermo, but areas of it were shabby and intimidating.

I wanted a more detailed map than the one supplied by Costa but the Tourist Information on the Port was closed. 

We headed for the Ballaro Market it was dirty and we felt very threatened by the locals who stared unsmiling as we passed through

Palermo (Sicily)

Look Rome is FANTASTIC but that is part of the problem, one day isn't enough, especially as the Port is an hour from Rome.

We felt almost disrespectful as we quickly darted from sight to sight.

Use the BIRG ticket as per well written Port reviews on here BUT if you are going on a Sunday check the Vatican availability and dont beleive the timetables on the boards, get a printed one.

Rome (Civitavecchia)

Good Size Bathroom
Hot Shower
Plenty of Cupboard space
Good location high in the ship
Comfortable Bed
Wonderful Cabin maid
Clean and Modern

Activities 
Would have liked to have seen more Dance classes and less Quizzes

Service 
Attentive and Friendly, I saw none of the 'European distain' that has been described previously in fact just the opposite.The MDRs were great for dinner with up to seven small and perfectly formed courses on offer giving you 'A little bit of what you fancy' in a very european way.
