Review summary

Embarkation and disembarkation was great.  I was unable to get coffee after dinner (without a charge) and they were going to charge me for regular water at dinner.  I've never known a cruise line to do that.  I'm not sure my sheets were changed once during our entire cruise.  I thought the buffet was pretty sparse compared to all other cruise lines.  I didn't like the fact that they charged for room service.  I felt like they were nickel and dimming me on the cruise.  I highly doubt that we will ever do another Costa cruise.

The cabin was fair at best. Like I said earlier, I don't think our sheets were changed once during the cruise.

Thanks for the nice, honest review James.  Glad to see you enjoyed the ports.  I think the coffee, water and buffet are typical of the “European” experience but not changing the sheets sounds like a bad cabin steward.  And I hate being charged for room service too.  Hope your next cruise is perfect!
