Review summary
Amazing first cruise. Loved to be with 95% Europeans while touring the Mediterranean. Food was amazing, high end and fancy. We had the upgraded drink package which includes fine wines, unlimited espresso, cappuccino, champagne, bottles of water and fancy cocktails. The ship is decorated old school Italian, which was perfect for us. There is a very chill vibe, people of all ages since so adorable. we would only ever book Costa again. Have heard so many negatives from friends who booked the expensive American lines. This cruise was 8 days, Athens, sea day, Crete, Valleta, Palermo, Civitaveccia, Savona ending in BarcelonaEmbarkation
Ship experiences
Food and Dining
Solarium Bar
This was called the sunset bar, amazing fancy cocktails named after classic rock bands, included in the drinks plus package. Great music too. Our server from Honduras was so kind
Michelangelo Restaurant
We loved our table on the higher balcony level. Our waiter was so attentive, refilling water and wine without having to ask. The meals in this restaurant were so delicious, I saved all the menus to show friends and family who weee so impressed.
Leonardo Da Vinci Lounge
Very nice lounge for evening drinks, live music and dancing. Excellent service
Conte Rosso Piano Bar
Amazing piano player and dancers. Our servers got to know us and would have our Merlot when we sat down. Nice charcuterie board served with wine, nice since we had the 9:30 pm dinner
Onboard Activities
Pool
Fun pools for people of all ages. It was nice to see kids playing around having fun, and adults chilling in the hot tub. The games, music and activities were so entertaining. I only swam once but sat on loungers.
Jogging Track
Great to have a dedicated space to jog, rain or shine. A few walkers would us slow down… but not a big deal
Excursion Office
Very helpful staff, for our booked excursion and also private onesI had booked
