I was really excited to get back and give Costa Deliziosa a proper review. I am not sure which cruise most folks that have had issues with this cruise sailed on though my experience was completely opposite.
So yes I have been on about 10 cruises in The U S and one out of Rome. Also I used to work on a ship (Everyone a large vessel is not a boat. It is a ship) years ago.
Pre registration was ...
I was on other cruise where the cabin was so small we had to keep open luggage under the bed and use them as closets.Costa cabin is so nice and spacious.The cleaning of the cabin, is so amazingly good, in the minimum details. and any request was looked into!
Amazing clean bathrooms all over at any time. And if there was an issue on the public spaces if you notified it, they were instantly ...
Full disclosure: I won this cruise, so my only choice was itinerary, and after reading many negative reviews, I was quite worried. My worries were unfounded and we had an amazing time...as Americans, the Italian flavor added to the experience...rather than detracted, in our opinion. The last night, the dining room was rocking as waiters danced with passengers, the Italians started a conga line ...
No matter what nationality you are, when you travel with Costa Cruise you will become Italian and live in an atmosphere full of love and human warmth.
Italians are different from everyone, they are unique in the way they live their lives with others.
The secret is in human contact, in the way they make you feel comfortable and important at same time , they know that everyone has a weakness ...
Initially chosen for the price......and as we live in Florida very easy access.
I always read cruise critic and in most cases have agreed in general with the comments. I admit I was a bit concerned about this cruise from reviews I had read....prior to the cruise.
Embarkation was quick and went very smoothly..we arrived at the port about 12 noon.
Dropped our bags, parked the car and ...
My daughter and her family included me as a whole family Christmas vacation. None of us had ever been in a cruise before. We loved every minute of it. We loved our dining room experience. Service was impeccable by Joseph. My cabin was always clean and neat. Irwandi was extremely friendly and polite. He was eager to help with anything. The rest of my family had the same experience.
We loved ...
We chose the cruise for the price and the ports of call.
The staff were really attentive and accommodating.
The food in the restaurant was always good, very different from American food.
The ports of call were very nice places.
The ship was always clean, and our rooms and bathrooms were always clean.
The few things lacking were the Availability of drinking water and ice during ...
I enjoy the opportunity to meet people from other countries and find out about their food and culture. Costa Deliziosa has a very diverse clientel from Europe and North America. All the staff we met spoke enough english to converse with. It's very humbling to realize how many people speak several languages and I only speak english.
The ship was sparkling clean when we arrived and stayed ...
I chose this cruise because of the many places we would stop, and it was the best decision I ever made! The service was exceptional, especially from Santanu, my waiter, and Ronal, my butler! My favorite hangout was on the 9th deck, at the bar, and the staff there is by far the greatest, funnest group of people ever!! They are simply amazing! I didn't ever want to leave! Everything on the boat was ...
My mother and I (20-year-old daughter) were traveling for the first time on a cruise - but with that said we have been traveling around the world since I was born; which of course mean that we have seen and experienced quite a lot and therefore are a bit critical about our surroundings and vacations.
We are VERY shocked to see so many critical and harsh reviews here on this site. Really, it is ...
