Costa Fascinosa Cruise Reviews - Reviews

We had an amazing week, the food was delicious, and the staff were helpful and kind. The entertainment was fun and the shows were spectacular. I would go again in this ship because it was amazing. The cabin was quite small but we booked an Inside Premium cabin. The restaurant was fantastic. In the buffet area we had a lot of choices and the food was delicious. The service was good. This was the first time with Costa and it was amazing.

I Think These Italian Cruise Was Very Nice! I Really Had A Good Time, Dough I'm Afraid To Travel On Costa Ship's Cause I Was A Passenger Aboard The Costa Concordia! But This One Was Ok

Although initially excited about our first Mediterranean cruise holiday with Costa our trip soon turned into a nightmare.

The first day we were told our door keys and suitcases will be deposited in the room and the room doors will be left open.

When we went down to our room our cases were there but only 1 key, but didn’t think anything of it. Later that night around 10pm we got a call and the person hung up when we answered it.

The next day I left my wallet out for a couple of hours while I went to dinner and when I returned our holiday money had been stolen.

When I reported this, the security staff went through our room, cases and all our personnel belongings, asking us for receipts for any purchases, my wife stood crying after our interrogation which lasted 2 hours due to their poor grasp of English.

After reviewing the door access logs we found someone had been sneaking into our room looking for something to steal each time we were out.

The Costa staff then said they would get back to us which they never did, when we chased them they just said they were looking into it, all the way up to the end of the holiday. They just couldn’t have cared less which makes me think this is a regular occurrence.

If we could have got a flight home from one of the ports mid holiday we would have.

When we got home we contacted Costa and got the same response, ‘looking into it’ then no reply.

On top of this breakfast had to be sent back every day as uncooked and every order to room was wrong due to poor English.

There are plenty of cruise lines to choose from, don’t waste your money and precious holiday time on Costa you’ll regret it !!!

I cruise average 2 times a year and this was our 10th cruise, but our opinion about this cruise is terrible, first the food was terrible, staff around the ship was not friendly at all, we used to see at in other lines when you met any crew member they always say hello, ask you if everything is ok, not in this one . At the restaurant our server never asked if everything was ok, if we needed something else, even when we ask for any recomendation about the options in the menu, nothing he was just taking order. The cabin too small (it was not surprise because this was not our first time at Costa cruise) but the cabin attendant was terrible: first the bed sheets seems like never was washed, dust everywhere,"no comment".

At the self serving restaurant if you were looking for something and you ask they said "is in the other side" and you go to the other side and ask, obviously, the answer was "is in the other side". so you have to desist because is a never-ending story. One day the lunch ( should be open until 1:30 pm ) at 1:10 the only available food was bread, and we were waitting standing there for 20 minutes (long line of people) and they said , sorry but is 1:30 pm and the lunch time is over. You can imagine what happened after.

The ports visited were ok but the time in each port was extremely short, you have no time for shopping. 3 or 4 hours is not enough at europe. Other cruises lines are 8 -10 hours, while costa 3 - 5.

Between 1:30pm  to 7:00pm  the only food available was bread and thin pizzas (inedible).

Nights life were fantastic, singers, piano, excellent.

The ship was beautiful. The crew was very nice, but quite serious. I sailed on another costa cruise and it was awesome, fun, relaxed and easy going. This cruise seemed more serious, a little boring, and nothing special like my last costa cruise. Also, the food on my lat cruise was spectacular , this cruise was sub par.
