Review summary

We've cruised around a lot but have never tried Costa Cruises. We were very surprised by the fantastic service that we received with them, so much better than RCCL or Carnival.

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

3 out of 5

Again, the service was impeccable. The food was (tastewise) was okay, but we're foodies and a tad bit spoiled in that area.

Entertainment

5 out of 5

I usually despise days at sea due to boredom. This cruise had so much FUN stuff to do, we couldn't do them all.

Children's Programs

3 out of 5

The only recommendation I would make it to be sure that the "adult only" areas are indeed adult only. This includes the Lido Ipanema cruise and the disco after hours.

Loved everything about the cruise. The theme of music was just icing on the cake since we just LOVE music! Everything was clean an organized.

We just walked around the city here. Has some local food. And walked around the waterfront. There were couples everywhere having picnics and just enjoying the fabulous weather, so we joined in the local tradition and found a little area to sit and enjoy each other.

We went to the Aquarium of Genova. Very nice but on second thought, we've seen man y many aquariums so this wasn't flooring for us. But the marina was nice and walking around to find fresh foccacia bread was fun.
