Trip from IJmuiden to the Shetland islands and Iceland and back. Reading all the reviews I don't need to add much more comment. Costa is not learning from the reviews people are writing . In short: food is always cold/ extra payment for water!!!!/ extra payment for frenche fries/ pizza/ snacks.
Embarkation was a chaos in IJmuiden. Much too less tender boats in some harbours with resulted in ...
Very bad ship, food and management
Everything was far below normal standards
No heating in the buffet restaurant in iceland and greenland
You had to eat with thick socks and coat on
A lot op people got sick with the flu during this cruises
We both were sick for one week
There was a lot of sneezing.
No hygienic measures for the guests.
Hand sanitizers were mostly ...
I chose this cruise because it was going to Greenland.
I boarded in Bremerhaven.
Boarding there was chaotic.
We had opted for an inside cabin, because it is financially better.
In addition, we had booked a number of excursions.
In IJmuiden a day of your own in Amsterdam.
On the boat it was again chaotic, the time that we had to report was exceeded, without us being informed by ...
We chose this cruise because of the dates and the itinerary, which fit with other travel plans. Also, the price for the cruise was extremely reasonable compared to other cruise lines making the same itinerary. However, we were hesitant about booking with Costa, largely because of the negative reviews on this and other sites from U.S. Citizens.
But I must conclude that these negative reviews ...
The restaurant staff very professional and well trained. Out cabine room was superficial clean every day lots of dust and the bedsheets not changed for the entire week. The excursion staff lack of knowledge and very rude not happy to offer any excursions in English unless is just downtown were we can go by ourselves. We we looking forward to have a nice hiking and engage with nature but NOT ...
We chose this Cruise Trip to North Europe, as this covers four stops in Western Norway, besides Copenhagen and Goteburg in Sweden. This was our second trip on Costa Ship.
Very happy with their Itinerary, since main attraction was to visit Norwegian Fjords.
Vast variety of food and comparatively far better Entertainment compared to others.
Overall a great experience and Value for ...
We have just arrived in Waremunde, Germany from a 7 day Fjord Cruise on Costa Favolosa.
When we first considered Costa as part of our 6 month tour of Europe we were very hesitant. We had sailed three times previously on Costa and we vowed never to sail Costa again.
Money being the driving force for this trip, finalized our decision. Keeping in mind our previous experiences with Costa, ...
We chose this cruise for the itinerary which was extensive and awesome! We went in calling this a Motel 6 on water, having very low expectations. We were so wrong, it exceeded in almost every way.
Pro's: The ship is very very clean. The staff is very friendly, and helpful. The food was so good, we never had a bad meal! The food is extremely fresh and presented in a beautiful manner. Even the ...
I chose this cruise because it had the right mix of fjords, northern ports, and international feel. I did not want to be on a cruise with a whole bunch of Americans, so instead chose a cruise with a whole bunch of Italians. This made a big difference in appeal and also in quality. Overall the cruise was fine and I am glad we did it. However there are a lot of issues at a corporate level I ...
We enjoyed the most our cabin with balcony.
On the beginning it is difficult to orientate, but finally we found everything rather quick.
The food is ok in the restaurants, but is a little stressy.
You see the personnel running all the time and therefore you are not relaxed by that.
The wine is good and price is correct if there is not always 15 % of service at each time.
But the ...
