Review summary

Obvious by comments on this page that Costa don't care, I had unfortunately booked 2 cruises on the same ship the Deliziosa , one I went on in September and the other booked for December 1st, the only saving grace was I was eating in Costa Club as a Diamond level passenger as service and entertainment was very poor. Imagine when I boarded for my December cruise to be told I could not have the Costa Club dining and I was to eat at 9.30, I asked to speak to a manager, was refused and eventually met up with 2 girls one a supposed superviser both verbally assaulted me wanting me to sign a piece of paper saying I would not be claiming a refund, I went to leave the ship got blocked by 3 security men, but eventually got off the ship collected my case and returned home, without signing my rights away. Surprise, surprise Costa have not responded to my e mail so beware don't book with Costa their benefits to keep you loyal are non existant.

So you forfeited your cruise because they wouldn't change your dining time? I guess you taught them a lesson.
