Back from a 7 day voyage on the Costa med all I can say is what a value for your vacation dollar. I have been on many lines and I kid you not I really enjoyed cruising Italian style.
Embarkation: Arrived at 2:00pm in my cabin by 2:15 need I say more A+
Cabin I had a cat 9 balcony and it was bigger the most lines standard cabin. Loved the couch and the balcony was huge. Cabin gets an A, however ...
Of all the cruises we've been on, our spring break trip on the Costa Mediterranea was one of the best! Embarkation went smoothly and quickly, due to the fact that Costa had many agents available to answer questions and point us in the right direction. Also, our bags were delivered to the room shortly after we boarded the ship. The rooms were much more spacious than the other cruises we have been ...
Why Costa? - If you know me, you know I'm a die-hard Holland America fan. Then why in the HAL did I elect to cruise "Italian Style" with Costa Cruise lines? Well, let's go back about a year ago, when we initially scheduled. SunFlower (my better-half) wanted to do a Western Caribbean, which included Key West. She's never been there and was really looking forward to hoisting a few at Sloppy Joes, ...
Costa Mediterranea- March 29-April 5, 2008
Background: We were a group of 28 kids and adults, 14 kids in tow ranging from 2-10 and 14 adults from our early 30's to mid- 40's. Most in my party were experienced cruisers and my family goes on a cruise at least once a year so we are not new to cruising.
I traveled with Costa about 15 years ago and had a great time, I remember the attentive ...
My husband and I were "first timers" and traveled with another couple who had gone on a previous cruise. Costa was a new name to us, but our travel agent assured us that it was an excellent cruise line. We booked rather late, mid-February for a March 1 cruise and chose the option that included airfare. We were a little upset at having to leave home at 3:30 am to make a 6:00am flight, but this is ...
Embarkation...an utter breeze. We arrived at 1130 waited on line outside terminal for 5 minutes until they opened the doors and were on the ship in 20 minutes.painless and lots of friendly smiling faces leading the way.Got on ship and were pleasantly greeted by members of the animation team. Cabin..obstructed view outside cabin with french doors to let the air in. Was 200sft, incredibly ...
This was my 19th cruise overall and my first on Costa. I am really going to tell you how I viewed this cruise and I hope others won't jump all over me. Because this is my opinion. This was the cheapest cruise I have ever gone on. The prices were unbelievably low which was surprising since it was during Spring Break week. We had an inside cabin category 2 for $600 pp and a balcony cabin category 8 ...
A little bit about my cruise experience. I have cruised seven times and have cruised on the Mediterranea in 2005. We cruised with my wife, two children (7 an 12), sister, her husband and her two children (9 and 14). We booked the cruise for $2147 for four of us which is a great deal for a cabin with a balcony on a holiday week. A month after booking the cruise Costa added a fuel surcharge of $35 ...
Our only cruise experiences - Star Cruises (small,friendly but brilliant destinations) & NCL Pride of America in Hawaii (Disappointed). Got bargain deal on cruise in package so went thinking if it is not so good at least we haven`t spent alot of money! My partner & myself thoroughly enjoyed ourselves; would look for Costa again & would recommend particularly to Brits / Europeans for Caribbean ...
Embarkation: very orderly, and quick. Best so far.
Cabin: Spacious, beautiful decor and amenities with a wonderful cabin stewardess.
Excursions: Grand Turk was by far me and my wife's favorite. The water and the beach are glorious,and Margaritaville is a 2 minute walk from where the ship docks.
Entertainment: The dancers were okay, Malambo show was boring, and the acrobat we walked out ...
