Costa Deliziosa Cruise Reviews - Reviews

We are Platinum members of Carnival cruises. This was not only not recognized by sister company Costa, we felt not even respected by Costa staff and officers. We felt that when we asked for something, staff wanted to get rid of us. We did not feel welcomed. We traveled half around the world to enjoy the Adria, but were deeply disappointed by this Cruise Company.

The ship is a little bit old, but all the program and system are good enough for vacation. Thanks to animation team, my son could have a wonderful first cruise experience and he would like to take cruise again.

I would definitely recommend it if you're in a suite. There were 16 of us traveling together and we had a blast!

As an American and not knowing Italian or Spanish it was hard on the excursions because English ones were cancelled. Felt like we missed a lot even though guides tried to pull us aside and explain things.

Lively cruise in the Mediterranian, despite the winter and a few bad weather days. Make sure you participate in activities onboard.

This is a Italian cruise ship so there are many language spoke on broad. Even the cruise director know how to speak 6 different languages. The food is so so and the cruise members are not really friendly. They changed their route with out letting me know from Honduras to Jamica. I was disappointed .

The one thing I missed was having our bed turned down and having fresh towels at night. First time on Costa and most likely the last.

If you want an around the world trip, this is it. Many nationalities on board most do not speak English or very little so expect to challenge yourself to communicate. Don't expect super food, kind of average. Expect to find a lack of ice cream almost at completely and don't expect coffee/tea/water available all the time, a variety on daily menus at buffet, polite behavior. Enjoy the fact that you are on a cosmopolitan world cruise. Cheapest world travel I have done even after all the undisclosed up charges found while at sea. Waved some of them in time! 😉

Worst cruise in my entire life.!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! DO NOT SAIL ON COSTA CRUISE LINE

Don't expect soft serve ice cream like other ships. No sports bar to watch games. Food was cold while drinks were warm. Not every bar was open on sea days. Like I stated earlier more negatives than positives. I really believe I would not use this cruise line again...

was overall ok, glad we had a balcony room. Just don't have a high expectation. The cost was fairly cheap so we didn't expect 4 start treatment. The whole exp was decent.

Excellent, and I want to add the fact of my waiter Mr. Solis Michael did a very good job, he made my family feel really comfortable, take a time and pay attention to this guy, he is a very fine person with family, and he deserve go forward, again he treat us like a King....

Versus prior trips on Costa the reduction in services and on board options was very apparent. Sad to see them reduce their appeal. The "brindiamo" package left a lot to be desired -- wine selections were few and beer selection (draft only limited to Heineken or Carlsberg) was poor -- no craft beers included (ie, IPAs, Maibocks, Porters, etc). But the people made the difference. The professionalism, friendliness, spontaneity, smiles, assistance offered were absolutely exceptional. I would easily return if only for the people.

Great ship for Italians, but not so for people who do not speak Italian.

It was nice to have a lot of European people on the board!!!

Overall very good cruise experience. Nice staff and good dood.

This was my first experience with Costa. I am a frequent cruiser and have experienced other cruise lines. This was the worst cruise experience I have ever had. I will never sail with Costa again.

There are people from many European and Asian countries on the cruise, but announcements were made in 5 languages succinctly and quickly, not a problem! There were long lines at the hospitality desk almost all of the time. The people working at the desk were patient. Maybe having money changing in a different area or more desk workers would be helpful. I stood in line for 1/2 hour to recover my purse which I had left at the table and knew that a woman had taken it to the desk. People seemed patient, but such long waits don't make for goodwill.

I loved everything the only thing i didnt like were the snot waiter at the chocolate restaurant who treated Americans like they were less and was so nice to the itlaina d when the came in

Our initial expectations were not met because Costa has cut back on what we initially experienced several years ago -- fewer musicians, no piano bar, apparent reduction in personnel in bar and other services. But the people were excellent and so nice, friendly. Our dinner waiter and several of the "bar" staff exceeded expectations. The Hospitality/Service Personnel were absolutely fantastic. The people were the hightlight of the cruise.
