Costa Fortuna Cruise Reviews - Reviews

This was a fantastic vacation. The enterainment at the pool in the afternoons was so much fun and the Carribean night was awesome. If you want to play tennis, which we did, be aware that it is not a full size court so it's not the real deal but still fun to volley on a ship. Also b ring your own racquets and balls so you can play any time. The food was a little disappointing - good but not great - bland sauces and odd entree selections. We had a great vacation.

If we will looking for next cruise we will try to get the Costa cruise company

A lovely ship with poor food , poor customer service , ill timed boat drills and a verry arrogant staff of Italian officers .

The ship was nothing special or exciting. We needed a wheelchair and found it impossible to get one so getting to the shows and dining room on the other end of the ship was extremely difficult (our dining room was closed for breakfast and lunch bacause a special group was using it) There was little or no sugar-free desserts on the buffet for diabetics. The Lido deck buffet became boring.

I would like to say that I am very dissapointed that I did not have access to all the ship portions of the ship was reserved for the Kosherica restaurants, pools, bars and elevators. When I reserved I thought I paid the full price and not half price.... I demand a explanation and refund for the portion of the ship WE DID NOT HAVE ACCESS TO

Some of the staff was not helpful, no one could make a decision about several customer service issues. Never again on Costa Cruises for us.

My children couldnt splash in the pool...ANYWHERE!!! ANY POOL!! (if kids allowed they need to have a pool disenated for children. Also vomit needs to be taken care of the right way!!

We were quite dissapointed that a specialty cruise group (Kosherica) were given such special treatment on our cruise.The group had one dining room reserved for breakfast and lunch. They had exclusive use of some deck areas in the evening and refused to let us pass through to reach other areas of the ship.

The Costa Fortuna was a beautiful ship! The staff was the best part: they were all very friendly, accommodating, and willing to go above and beyond. The food was excellent. I also enjoyed the ports of call. The islands were beautiful! However, the pillows were terrible and we were charged a "service fee" at the end of our cruise that we were not previously told about. We had to go to the front desk to have it removed.

We love the mediterranean style of the ship. Great also was the italian flavor of the overall entertainment.Great activities for all the family,dance lessons and events. Dinner was always a surprise with differents options every night. Casino,lounges disco, bars and restaurants were outstanding. Overall we definitively we gonna recomends Costa with all our friends!

I WAS EXPECTING SOMETHING ELSE BUT WE CONFRONT MANY DIFICULTIES ESPECIALLY COMUNICATION AND FRIENDS RECOMEND THE SHIP AS VERY ENJOYBLE , AND THE FOOD WAS NOT WHAT I EXPECT BECAUSE THE ONLY WE CAN EAT AT LUNCH WAS PIZZA , EVERY DAY I THINK WAS TO MUCH

The service provided in restaurants and buffets was real bad. I asked in customer service if they sold future cruises in the ship and they did not know what I was talking about. The A/C in public areas was real bad. The shows and Music was great. The food was ok.

My family and I enjoyed the best Vacation we have ever had on Board the Costa Fortuna, I will certainly recommend this ship and Vacation Outlet to friends and family.

Tv programing was very poor and if you wanted to watch any movie you had to pay for it The food was not up to par for an Italian ship. Not enough personnel in the gangway during embarkation. Took a very long time.

THE HISTORY PAINTED ON THE WALLS WAS AMAZING, THE ART WAS SOMETHING YOU CAN ONLY SEE IN EUROPE

The ship itself was very nice. The rooms were a good size and clean (but don't expect toiletries, mints on your pillow, towel animals or any extra touches). The public rooms were very nice although they kept the ship uncomfortably hot (no need for a shawl in any rooms including the dining rooms and the theator). The 'European style' of cruising translated into a major lack of organization (no such thing as waiting your turn in line as the European guests just push in front of you at any time). The food was poor except for the breads and pastas. The service in our restaraunt (Raffeal) was the worst I have ever seen although we heard that the other resteraunt was fine. The buffet was of poor quality and selection and again no such thing as organization existed. The specialty restaraunt had great service but the food was nothing special. The Casino was great, love the coins versus the card in the slot machines it makes winning more fun. Tendering ashore and disembarking were unorganized disasters and took twice as long as on any other cruise we have been on. I wouldn't want to do another Costa Fortuna cruise, but I might try another Costa ship (although it wouldn't be my first, second, or third choice).

Geogeously decorated ship with a lot of great history...

I thought it was a wonderful cruise. There were many activities and the layout of the boat, however a bit confusing, was fun to explore. I would have liked a bigger pool or a different pool, sunbathing area layout, but in general, I liked the ship a lot. Eating at the same table every night allowed me to become close to those I dined with. I liked the way things were set up and the staff was very friendly and helpful. I was well treated and entertained and would do Costa Fortuna again.

My overall impression of the ship was very good. It was a clean ship with a polite staff. They had specific hosts/hostesses for each of the different languages, to keep you well informed of all the ship happenings of the day. Most of the ship's crew spoke multiple languages - so you could approach anyone with any of your questions/concerns.

The ship was great and new. The entertainment and ffod flavor and quality was one of our worst experinces in cruises. The "smoking everywhere" was horrible, we could not get away from it...we don't smoke.
