Costa Cruise Reviews

Italian style cruising - great food in main dining room, interesting sights to see, but crowded, with logistical challenges. I found the ship decor blah. Side note, they hit you with a 3 euro charge to "activate" your internet package that you have already paid for. We joined at Taranto, quick walk from train station. Be very careful with any cabin on Deck 6 midships - I miscalculated cabin ...

Our first cruise with Costa. Have sailed MSC and Cunard previously. Sailed actually five days from Athens to Palermo, but Cruise Critic did not allow to edit the details. The best thing was the price, 389 e/pp including drinks package. The cruise itself was ok. There was nothing splendid about the cruise, except for some foods in the MDR being very good. On other nights some foods were mostly ...

Extremely dissatisfied! In our journey from Hamburg to Barcelona, nobody has yet replied to the three emails from the ship's reception, who obviously don't care how guests feel! The ship has been under refurbishment since departure and everywhere is dusty and very noisy. In addition the ship charges you for things you have either already paid for (excursions) or used. You pay for your ...

1- boarding: lines and lines of waiting before you get on board, huge lack of organisation! No line for families, no line for disabled or elderly people, a chaos. 2-they hold your passports until the end of the trip!they hold you hostages without explanation! And when i asked if they have the right to keep my passport, i have a very confident answer “yes”, but if you change your mind & decide ...

Let's not call it a cruise,it's more a ferry that keeps picking up the guests in even port. So, every port baggage in the corridor, no steward available cause they have to do turnover. Food is absolutely tasteless and boring. Ship itself is nice but crew makes it the worst ever. I haven't seen so many rude people working in one place ever. Managment walks around barely saying hi,security scans ...

We are on Costa Toscana, we have a balcony room on 9th floor, unfortunately no privacy on the balcony as guests are frequently roaming around 1 level below and have full sight of what’s happening on the balcony. Food is basic, same thing everyday. They only cater for the European market. No Indian food onboard. We requested it on day one, however what the prepare is horrible and the Indian food is ...

The ship was Beautiful, Most of the crew members were nice, but some of them acted as if they paid for our cruise. Lots of events during the evening and practically no events or repetitive during the day. In the "Colisseo" there are a lots of seats that are practically useless because you cant' see anything because there is a pillar in front of you. There are even seats behind the stage (how can ...

staff was rude , specially the “my tours” staff and most of the staff didn’t speak english. The pool was very very small and full of children making noise is impossible to go to the pool and be chilling peacefully. To many people for the ship capacity so the buffet was very full and messy , you couldn’t get anything done without a queue. The “all inclusive” deal is not worth it because there’s 16 ...

Highly disappointed with Costa Pacifica. I had been on MSC Fantasia 10 years ago, and they had everything better than what Costa delivered now. RECEPTION: The worst people are hired as receptionists on this cruise. They have arrogant and fake attitudes. RESTAURANT: Deck 9 offers free food 24 hours a day, but the quality of the food is very cheap. They have other restaurants where food is ...

Our cruise was an exceptional experience We were traveling as a group of four friends. From the moment we boarded, the entire process was smooth and well-organized. The staff were very helpful. We also had a cabin upgrade from a window to a balcony, which was a nice surprise The range of activities is impressive, with something for everyone, regardless of age. The daily schedule ...
