Costa Concordia (RETIRED) 548

7 Night Western Mediterranean (Barcelona Roundtrip)

Sail date: August 28, 2009

Ship: Costa Concordia (RETIRED) 548

Cabin type: Inside

Traveled as: Large Group

Reviewed: 14 years ago

Review summary

The cabin was clean and comfortable. The staff handled the multitude of languages well; English was definitely the minority language but it wasn't a barrier to our enjoyment. We were concerned about smoking, but it wasn't an issue. I would definitely consider a cruise with Costa again.

Ports of call

Marseille (Provence), France

3 out of 5
Don't Miss: We enjoyed the wandering in the North African markets, which we found by accident.

Naples, Italy

3 out of 5

Palermo, Sicily

3 out of 5

Savona (Genoa), Italy

5 out of 5
Savonna is a nice town; we were there on Sunday so little was open, but we did a lot of sightseeing on foot.

Tunis, Tunisia

5 out of 5
I would recommend a tour here, as the port is some distance from the town
Don't Miss: Medina and the markets

Palma De Mallorca, Balearic Islands

5 out of 5
Mallorca is clean and charming with nice shopping.

Pros: The staff on the ship was first rate.

Cons: The cruise staff did nothing about the (cultural) inability of some groups of passengers to wait their turn in queues.
