We loved cruising, but the Costa Favolosa is exorbitantly expensive. The food was really excellent. They close the buffet dining room at certain times and free coffee is only available during meal times. No free ice creams. Very expensive shops and photos. You pay for everything, only your food is included. Remember that they charge you 20 Euros service fee per day.

Excellent food, but free coffee only at buffet dinner. Everything is very expensive.
Onboard Activities
2 out of 5
The activities were geared towards younger people. We loved the music and dancing. The IMAX was too expensive and they didn't show any movies.

Ship tip
Don't, unless you are Italian, French or Spanish and have a lot of money, because everything is exorbitantly expensive.
We had too little time in this port, as we had to be back at the ship for early sailing. We went on a hop-on-hop-off bus, but couldn't see the Sagrada Familia because of time constraints. Very friendly people. The most beautiful architecture I have ever seen.
