This ship has been newly refurbished to a high standard. Everyone comented on how tastfully decorated it is. Our inside cabin was huge with plenty of storage. The crew were helpful, happy, friendly and well trained while still managing to be unabtrusive. We had truly miserable weather. We were impressed that the captain and Costa were flexible enough to chase the sun and we skipped.Athens in favor of Malta.
They've gone to complete open seating "my time" dining. I'm not a fan but they are.the ony line that I remember to open the main dining room for lunch when in port. The menue was limited but delicious and well presented. Something we've always advocated for --- a port co-ordinated dinner with paired wines. IMPRESSIVE!
The only downside is the pool is smaller than a postage stamp and I heard comment that there was very little for kids. Neither is a problem for me.
