Review summary

Despite some of the poor reviews we had a wonderful time! We met 4 new cruisers and they loved it too. OK. A few niggles. They no longer give free water at dinner, and no hot drinks at lunchtime as they did before. If you like a tipple or two -buy a drinks package -excellent value compared to single drinks, as on any cruise. The ship was very clean, our cabin was kept spotless. The entertainment in the theatre was OK -the dancers were excellent -but plenty of other venues to visit too. The announcements in several languages could be a pain, but hey ho it’s only for a few minutes! The food was good, but wouldn’t have had dinner in the buffet - and the entertainment by the waiters on a couple of nights was wonderful. No problems finding a sun bed on most days, but obviously on the day at sea it was more challenging but we found one! We don’t do ships trips. In Marseille We paid for the shuttle bus, and drove by the port gate where a shuttle was free -but only for those who didn’t mind the long walk out of the port. The shuttle to Valencia was essential, and it was a lovely place to visit. Sadly the end of our holiday was a disappointment thanks to the French air transport strike and we were delayed by 4 hours spending 10 hours at the airport before we took off. However, some folk didn’t take off at all, and had an unexpected extension to their holiday. With Costa you get what you pay for - it’s the itinerary that counts and it’s what you make it! This was my 4th Costa Cruise and I thoroughly enjoyed it!
