Not all bad but the little nuances build up
"They also constantly change their minds on things, so kids were fine in the hot tubs under parents supervision until our last day when all of a sudden they weren't and we were told off by an irate Italian officer, we showed her what the signs said but she said "they're wrong" , my father went to talk to reception and apparently their interpretation of the sign is children age 16-18 have to have parental supervision but otherwise no children.We sailed with Costa previously some years ago and felt very comfortable being English speakers and enjoyed spending time with our European counterparts, we felt that things couldn't be that different and perhaps it was just people not really used to being surrounded by the European Culture...."Read More

First time cruisers, wife booked it for my birthday! I would like to firstly like to say a massive thank you to Kayleigh our English speaking rep onboard for making our cruise a memorable one and going the extra mile to help us! A really big thanks goes to all the crew and workers on the Diadema, they were brilliant! Admittedly the vessel is getting a bit old and tired but very clean and ...

First off, I think I owe the previous reviewers an apology! We sailed with Costa previously some years ago and felt very comfortable being English speakers and enjoyed spending time with our European counterparts, we felt that things couldn't be that different and perhaps it was just people not really used to being surrounded by the European Culture. However once boarding we soon realised that ...

Let me start off by saying I am neither a complainer nor a pushover. I like to say things as they are and to hell with what the majority or otherwise might say. Nor am I a happy clapper willing to give out praise where it not due. That out of the way, let me proceed. As seasoned travellers myself and my wife have been most places in the world and often several times over. However, until now ...

It's a pity I only read the reviews about Costa after I have booked its Mediterrean cruise. Turned out the negative reviews of most critics are true! Indifferent restaurant service, overcrowded and messy restaurant with mundane food, chaotic restaurant seating arrangement, below average night shows, confusing ship facilities layout, poor communication regarding embarkment & disembarkment etc., all ...

Horrible experience with Costa Diadema

The story with Costa started badly from the beginning. It was our first cruise. When we were getting on the cruise, we were attended by a person who barked at us in an incomprehensible language and forbade us to enter because of a non-existent schedule problem. Behind him came an officer on board who, in very bad manners, let us reluctantly pass by the cruiser. On entering, we asked for the ...

Cruised out of Barcelona on March 20, 2017 with our 2 teenage daughters. We had two cabins next to each other. The ship is beautiful and very large. OUr cabins were on the lowest deck. It was by far the nicest ocean view cabin I have ever had on a cruise ship. Very large with 2 bathrooms. Ports of call were all very nice. Food was just average. Half the nights we ended up at the ...

NIGHTMARE ON COSTA DIADEMA

Horror!!! Horror! Could not wait to disembark after a week from hell !!! The most mercenary employees in tourism i have ever met in my numerous travels, the managers have absolutely no consideration for the passengers, only for their business. My family live on different continents hence we thought a week together on a cruise would mean both rest and togetherness, something to remember fondly. ...

We have cruised many times, but only twice on Costa. ( 14 times on RCCL, 4 on Celebrity, 2 on Carnival, 3 on Princess,etc) We understand that once it was bought by Carnival, the quality of service would go down to Carnival’s level. Well… It went way down from Carnival’s level Costa Diadema Nov 11 to 18 - 2014 from Palma de Maiorca,The food, was horrible, the Filipino and Indonesian service was ...
