Really wanted to try these ports but it didn't provide sufficient fulfillment for active people like us.
Embarkation
5 out of 5
We are in CostaClub perla class so get priority boarding. This probably saved us an hour prior to embarking.
Ship experiences
Food and Dining
4 out of 5
MDR is busy but well organised. The food is typically Mediterranean with lots of choice including a fixed option every night less gala menu.
Perla class allows us 1 complimentary sitting in Samsara, which is relaxed and of a higher quality.
Onboard Activities
4 out of 5
Good theatre shows for a multilingual audience. Bars are always busy. Pool not used, but had to complain many times about children in the adult only pool and jacuzzis.

Service and Staff
4 out of 5
The staff are what make a cruise holiday. Our steward was brilliant, we always give them the day off on alternative days of new embarking, they have enough to do.
Bar staff are superb, non stop for them but I'm sure it helps pass the time quicker.

Cabin / Stateroom
4 out of 5
Nice size, no problems. Just a little noise from below due to forward gangway location.
We was stopped from entering Venice due to fog. 6 hours after our official time we docked, we missed our flight home.
So, at great expense we had to get a hotel, new flights, taxis etc etc
Delayed our arrival home by 21 hours.
All credit to Costa, they provided free internet access to allow onward travel rearranging. Very hectic and at short notice. Not their fault, but stood up and helped wherever possible.
