Costa Firenze Cruise Reviews

The ship is fantastic, the cabin great. Cabin staff, bar staff and restaurant staff excellent. The food was adequate, but not exceptional, we resorted to eating in the speciality restaurants on a number of occations to relieve the bordom. At dinner we could not get menues in English but other nationalities did not have this problem. We were treated with disrespect, in the form of racism by the ...

I know Costa as a place for great Italian food, vibrant entertainment, beautiful ships and a well functioning service. Now I took just a short time out on a repositioning cruise around Western Europe. I wanted to sail on Costa Firenze, because she and her sister Venezia caused very positive and very negative reactions and I wanted to have an impression on my own before the ship will leave the ...

We took a cruise with Costa Firenze in July 2023 from Kiel to North Europa (Denmark & Norway). It was our first cruise with Costa and we were a little bit sceptical as our last cruise with a italien cruise company (MSC) was a huge disappointment. Embarkation in Kiel was really smooth, friendly stuff and everything great organized. Within 20 mins we were on Board. On Board we were welcomed by a ...

When one doesn’t eat well, one doesn’t travel well. We have to say that this was the worst cruise (of 7) that we’ve been on from the food perspective. For Italians, this should be seriously embarrassing. If you’re going to take this cruise due to the route or timing, then best go for the pizza at their payable afternoon-only restaurant La Nostra Pizza. It won’t be your best pizza, but it’s ...

Never again Costa, after 10 Costa cruises the measure is now full. We were not the only ones, heard several people say: never again Costa. What a disappointment: - Embarkation: 6 hours in the heat, no information what was going on, finally your turn, but sent back for mandatory Corona test (no mention at booking or at the entrance for check-in), again to the counter and then again with ...

This is the fourth time me and my family have been to a Costa Cruise and we had a different experience. Even though Costa Firenze is a brand new ship, entertainment was lacking when compared to my previous Favolosa and Fascinosa experience. Had a great experience with our schedule dinner, food was good and service was great - a special thank to Roy Samir and Dondde, who were kind and ...

We chose this cruise based on the itinerary. We have cruised many times on several different cruise lines. We appreciate the ups and downs of cruising and have come to learn what to expect and not expect. That said - this is not necessarily a criticism, simply a fact. If you are an English speaker, DO NOT TAKE THIS CRUISE. Sadly, we were ignorant of this. Let me be clear. WE were the ...

I chose this cruise due to the itinerary because I had already done other cruises on the Mediterranean and I didn't want to repeat the same ports. The ship is new and very beautiful. However the pools are small and there are only two jacuzzis. In the cabin (I bought two cabins with a balcony) there is no fridge (first ship I see this!). The food is good, but the company's services are terrible: ...

Overall the staff was great and always willing to help and super friendly. The ship was clean and the food was pretty food However, the first time on a cruise we did not know what to expect. Unless you are at the buffet/free restaurant at specified times. Be prepared to pay for everything. Including water by the bottle. I would say to enjoy your time on the ship without having to worry. ...

I am writing this from the perspective of an American with lots of cruise experience with Carnival. As the title indicates this was our first cruise in the Med after many Caribbean, Alaska and West coast of Mexico cruises. We sailed round trip from Rome. Technically we sailed from Civitavecchia, the port that services inland Rome. Most of our cruise experience is with Carnival but we sailed with ...
