Review summary

My wife and I travelled with our three year old on our first Costa cruise and dining experiences were extremely disappointing for many reasons: - we ordered a hamburger for m son it was not cooked. We sent it back to only receive another hamburger cooked even less than the first! - a beef dish that I ordered was raw. I had it sent back and what came back was as raw as the first. - we had very long waits during dinner, sometimes as much as 30 minutes between dishes served. - on our last night, we were one of the first people to arrive in the Your Way dining; others that sat later than us were served before us. Better attention to detail required! The mandatory "hotel charge" was a surprise to us. When discussing this with the staff, the explained it's tip for the workers. I am accustomed to tip for good service. Having to play for subpar service does not see righ to mel
