Costa Atlantica Cruise Reviews - Reviews

Good for the Price. Definately an Italian (European) ship.

VERY Italian flavor to boat (it is an Italian flagged boat). Most officers and approximately 70% of passengers are Italian. Most wait staff is Asian. Sometimes the language barrier was an issue. Not a LOT of activities, but enough if you also wish to lay-out/read. TV channel selection was poor-- 10 channels total and only 4 in English. Biggest complaint was the poor kids activities/room. Single small room which was shared by all the children. Disney for example has kids rooms dedicated to specific age groups. So I do not recommend this cruise line if kids ship activities/enjoyment is high on your priority list. Soda and dining in other restaurants was extra. Main dining food was just so-so, service was good though. Boat was clean and well maintained.

Nice ship, very clean, friendly staff and generally great service. Ship is not new, but is in very good shape. Decor is somewhat dated. It doesn't have all the amenities some newer ships have.

we booked our cruise with Cruises only and through them booked our tours through Port promotions. the day before the cruise we got a call from port promotions notifying us one of our tours had been cancelled. they also told us our tickets to the 2 remaining tours would be immediately sent. Had we been gone in advance, we would never had received any tickets.The ticket was a one page item. It told us to meet at the pier tour departure area and na representative from port promotions would be there with a sign saying 'best of the caribbean' at 8:15 am.WE were there from 7:45 to 9:30 and no one ever showed up with any sign for them. We asked the people at Costa about this and they told us they know nothing about the company and Could Not Help Us.We went out into the town and had a tour rep from another company call Port promotions at the # on our ticket.We asked why no one was there for us and the person said someone was.That was not true. In a little while while standing on the pier a young man came over to us and said the boat for our tour was leaving from another port at that time and in fact had already left. He apologized and said we could take the 1:30 tour and we told him we had other plans for the afternoon in St Thomas. He then left. WE had another person call the company and they said they were expecting our call and told us we would be gettting a refund. They did fail to show up at the following port Nassau as mentioned on our ticket.When we returned to our home we called them and explained we wanted a refund as they did not provide the service we paid for.We received no refund of any kind 10 days after the initial incident. So, please do not book any tours with port promotions as based on my experience, they are very poorly and inefficiently run and do not honor their contractual agreements. john lonergan Colorado

Fantastic cruise, excellent ship, outstanding service. Will cruise Costa as soon as possible again.

Just returned from 7 day Eastern Caribbean cruise and was very happy with the ship, the crew and the food.

although an older ship now, kept in very good shape, amazingly clean and well kept.

The ship was very nice and very clean. Over all we really liked the ship, and the stops. I do feel they could have had more things to do during the day for the days that we were on the ship all day.

We had many problems in the dining room and the speciality restaurant. When you go on a cruise the food matters, and we got average if not poor service and food.

The ship was beautiful . The food delicious. The crew catered to our every need. This cruise was excellent all around.

I have been on this ship many times before and it is a good one.

I was Stuned by the ship! The Ship was huge! Best cruise

The ship was well kept and clean mostly but the crew was not helpful and had an attitude..Service was poor until I complained and the air was kept so high that it felt like a sauna most of the time in and out of the cabin. Service in the dining room wasn't the best, until I complained and had the entire table moved. After the complaint, the servers were great and the crewmember that did the exercise class was terrific..Other than that. pick another ship

A very beautiful and maintaned ship. Lot of care to distribute information in many languages. My only complaint is that the tender service is very slow. In many cases more than an hour waiting to disembark.

Very nice ship. Cruising with Europeans is a very good experience. The ship makes lots of effort to keep everybody informed in many languages.

I can’t recommend this cruise enough, the staff were very accommodating and went above and beyond their duties. I loved every second of it. Definitely would go again

Overall it was fun... it was our first cruise so we didn't take full advantage if the on board activities.... though my husband did participate in ther hairy leg contest... that was fun

My first cruise ever was on the Costa Atlantica. I definitely caught the cursing bug afterwards. However, full disclosure, I did not enjoy my sailing because I was such a newbie and did not pick a ship based on my needs or style. Nonetheless, in an unbiased approach, the Atlantica is a very elegant and Euro-style type cruise experience. I remember the food being exquisite and the ambiance being very ornate. The entertainment was very classic; meaning shows, magicians and dancing, etc. There was some pool side activities but very refined. As previously stated, this was not for me personally but I learned a lot about how to choose the right cruise. The crew was lovely and toga night was an experience. My rating is based off of the ship and overall dining experiences.

This was my 6th cruise in 2.5 yrs and I have to say I love them. It was a great ship with decent cabins and was clean. Getting on and off the ship was fast flawless. The service in the dining room lacked harmony and the food was awful when you compare it to other lines .Too many announcements in 5 different foreign languages.My last complaint...NO REDSTRIPE BEER!

We had a very nice large cabin with balcony on deck 6. For me having a refrigerator in our cabin was really helpful, since my medication has to be refrigerated. The bathroom was a good size with lots of shelves and "mega" water pressure. This ship is absolutely magnificent! The staff was very courteous and helpful. The excursions booked through Costa were well organized.There was a variety of foods (for those of you complaining you were served Italian food for 7 days). There was a great variety of other dishes to choose from.We made new friends and plan on cruising again next year (Eastern) on Costa Atlantica.
