Review summary

Overall we really enjoyed the cruise. This was our 3rd time with Costa, 1st on the Magica. Although we prefer the Mediteranea, this ship was also beautiful & very elegant. The food was fabulous (mostly Italian specialties - which we love!) The staff was so friendly with us and the kids. I would also say that 4 out of the 5 shows were really good & kid friendly. We were very happy once again!

Ports of call

San Juan, Puerto Rico

Definately not much to do. There is an old hotel/casino where you get off the ship (the boat casino is much better). Then there is a Carlos n Charlies and that's it. We did a quick carriage ride and returned to the boat

Where you dock they advise you not to walk around & don't leave alone. You must use their transportation to go anywhere. Isn't that enough to not want to visit.

Very pretty shops and beach. The water was so clear except for a lot of seaweed.

Shopping is really nice here. Last trip we visited Maegan's Bay Beach - that is definately a waste of time. The beach was crowded and rocky & you pay to get in to
