we didn't choose the ship or the company, but we went for the Middle East itinerary.having sailed in owners suites on both Holland America and Royal Caribbean, we knew it would be a bit of a step back, but, as we sailed with Carnival in suites as well, we got exactly what we expected.nice ship, o.k. food (but not at lunchtime, not even in the main restaurant) and nice entertainment (except for the ...

We thought the Costa Victoria was lovely at the time, but the Deliziosa beats it hands down. Modern and beautiful, this ship is stunning.We have done the Middle East trip before, but this time had to miss Bahrain due to the unrest. Not keen on staying in Oman for two days, would have preferred Abu Dhabi.We had a balcony cabin which was lovely, cant fault it. Lots of storage space, adequate ...

Embarkation We arrived about half an hour after the allotted time and found no queues. Staff were friendly and helpful. Bags were delivered to our cabin in a few minutes. Others we spoke to who arrived too early had not had a pleasant experience as they were not allowed to board, although there was a baggage drop area. Ship This is a new ship and as you would expect is in excellent ...

We travelled from Cairns, Australia to join Deliziosa in Dubai for the 7 night cruise. We were able to board the ship around PM but did not get access to our cabin until around 8 PM. Some guests did get into their cabins earlier. The cabin was a good size for comfort and there was plenty of storage space. We did not have any problems with the cabin other than occasionally the shower drainage ...

It was very great. The ship was new and often cleaned and the condition of the ship was well! The itinerary was okay - we visited Dubai, Muscat, Fujairah, Abu Dhabi and Bahrain. Very interesting. The food was also good - okay, the first day, the breakfast was a bit disappointing, but all other days we liked it. Dinner was great - every day. We had to dine in the main restaurant (late ...

I am a first time cruiser and chose the Costa Deliziosa "Jewels of the Emirates" cruise round Dubai as this is somewhere I had always wanted to visit and the cruise seemed to have everything I was after. Myself and my partner chose to pay for the J2 package before we left out. We could take any drink we liked from the minibar excluding super alcoholics (not sure what they were actually - but we ...

First let me say we have cruised about 20 times on various lines and have thoroughly enjoyed everyone of them. So, we are not serial moaners and we have never had cause to report a negative review before. This cruise was 18 nights repositioning from Dubai to Savona visiting many ports in the Emirates, Oman, Egypt, Jordan and Italy. Major sightseeing to the Pyramids, Luxor, Petra, Suez Canal, ...

I'm not sure if I was on the same Costa Deliziosa as other reviewers here as we found it to be an excellent ship with excellent staff and excellent food. I traveled with my DW and DM. The cruise was Dubai to Savona, with stops at 8 ports. Embarkation We flew out on the Saturday and had an overnight in a hotel near the airport. There was a Costa rep waiting for us as we came out of ...

Background This was our 4th Costa cruise out of about 30 in total but this time we took our daughter, son-in-law and granddaughter for their first cruise. It was good to see some of the things we take for granted through the eyes of first-timers and we were all very pleased with the holiday. The Deliziosa is a nice new ship, rather bright and gaudy in places. We knew what to expect from the food ...

This was our 2nd time cruising with Costa and we were really looking forward to it as we had a brilliant time on the Serena 2 years ago(our 1st cruise!). It was nice to see more Brits on board and a good mix of Italians, Germans, French and various other Europeans. Cabin: We got our first ever balcony so we were well made up and we got our request of portside. Cabin was fresh and clean as ...
