This ship is beautiful and classy. I loved the layout, with the dining, theater and casino down on the 2nd & 3rd level, and swimming on the top level. No waiting for elevators. I also like the way the ship's public areas are broken into smaller areas, giving a feeling of intimacy on a large ship. Cabins were nice - even the inside ones. I had heard that Costa allowed smoking in too many areas, due to the large european population on board. I found the exact opposite. There were only a couple areas on the entire ship that were set aside for smokers.
