Cabin: Samsara Outside with Balcony
We were looking for an alternative to cross the Atlantic other than by plane to avoid the jetlag. As this sailing fit in our time schedule we booked a cruise on Costa Deliziosa leaving Ft. Lauderdale March 03.
-To begin with the ship: Costa Deliziosa is an eldery lady in need of a thorough make-over. The entire interior decor and design was retro.
- Our cabin, which was a so-called Samsara balcony cabin mid forward looked tired and worn with stains on the old carpet and a shower curtain not properly fastened. Worse, the bedding reeked, and the linens were worn and had holes in them. The blankets were flimsy and not warm enough.

Port Reviews
Amber Cove (Puerto Plata)
Amber Cove is a really nice port, clean and with interesting facilities
St. Maarten
Very touristy
Tenerife
interesting town offering nice strolls
Lanzarote
very nice and easy to discover
Malaga
beautiful town with wonderful historic buildings
Marseille
we very pleasantly surprised by vieux Marseille and really enjoyed our walk through old town.
Genoa
The ship berthed in Savona not Genoa we were amazed by the beauty of this little town.
Naples
well, Naples is Naples so in comparison to other Italian cities we did not find it too appealing.
Just did a city tour on the hop-on-hop-off but beware they are trying to catch customers right outside the pier and then, make them wait until the bus is full. Not recommendable.
Bari
Unexpectedley beautiful city with lots of history and nice to walk about.
Dubrovnik
we took a simple transfer bus from the ship and that did it. Historic Dubrovnik is easily self discovered although we found prices outrageous and a tourist grab.
