Costa Pacifica Cruise Reviews - Reviews

i booked and paid a cruise for me and my girlfriend, because was promoted online with NO VISA NEEDED, the cruise app doasnt work in USA, when we arrived to Dominican republic , they let us go inside the imbarkation building , then the Costa workers load our luggaged on the ship but at custom border office , they ask us for a visa. No assistance from Costa, we explain the problem and they told us , was our problem.i paid and left without sail .There are lots of better cruise company in USA.

An overall and by and large very disappointing cruise. The worst cruise with Costa(our 3d) ever. Discriminatory, shameful, humiliating, dishonest, and deceptive "passports" affair for non-EU nationals. Dishonest, deceptive, arrogant, and inflexible attitude with the above mentioned by the ship authorities in charge.

The itinerary was perfect! SOME of the staff on the ship was great, the bar staff especially Jover, Mangesh, Ricardo, Mario, and Jaypay(or Payjay). Halyna was excellent!! She was very helpful and willing to help in any way. We were surprised with a charge called "Hotel Service Charge" that were not told about and we were told by the receptionist that there was nothing that could be done.

Foods are great, entertainment is good, and excursion is excellent. It is a great experience!

Itinerary and length of cruise excellent. Services on Costa Pacífica and “buffet concept” as well as variety and quality of food outside main restaurant disappointing for a luxury cruise ship. Only one variety of cheapest cheese, every day same 2 cold cuts, only one sort of rye bread. Impression is that client should be forced to pay for quality extra with many things available only at extra cost. Even water only free during buffets. With this concept Costa is not competitive with most other cruise lines.

We just bookes Costa, because we could going by car to/from La Romana. The cruise was ok, but nothing really great. We enjoyed our holidays, but we like other cruise companies better.

It was a terrible cruise-even before a woman jumped to her death from a balcony above us, and hit the lifeboat with a big bang that woke us up, before the man overboard alert. 😱

World wind tour of a lifetime. The ports and excursions were well worth the trip, though I would not sail this particular cruise line again. I recommend taking time after the excursion, which are usually only 4 hours or so and tour the cities on your own to get away from the commercial aspects.

Music every night that was great what was not so good was cancelled 4 excursion because we spoke English .  Food was failed. No coffee after breakfast no ice 

Взагалі нам сподобалось.

Гарно підібрані міста .  Ввічливий , доброзичливий персонал. Принаймні досить природньо посміхаються.

  Досить незвичне для нас явище - прихована ціна. Необхідних витрат - більш ніж 200%! То податки , то сбори,  то взагалі "сервісний збір"!

  Але найбільше обурила необхідність залишити каюту до 8:00 в останній день. 

  Хотілось би ще. Але!!!  лише з компанією, яка не буде примушувати залишити каюту до моменту висадки з лайнера.

Kiel Germany --- Gdynia, Poland you can spend a whole day at the Malbork Castle. Klaipeda, Lithuania  was a fantastic site to see and interesting history of the Curonian Split Island. Riga, Latvia also fantastic sites of the old city and St. Peter and John's churches. Tallinn, Estonia.  Great sit of old town. St. Petersburg, Russia was the best. Fineland , Helsinki  great sites. Sweden, Stockolm great sites. I will hope everyone can get a chance to see these sites.

Nice destination, ship okay. Very good service at Blue Moon Restaurant. Not enough information about privileges for suite category. We had to request all special services that we had included. We requested to remove automatic added gratuity charge and we were told it was mandatory.

I have to say the itinerary for this cruise was great.  We loved the cruise but the food was awful.  If you don't care much about good food this cruise is for you. 

The itinerary was  the reason I chose this one.  I would never go on Costa again.  Too many people, too much being herded like cattle, they don't seem to care about English speaking people (the daily news was often missing information, like explaining that there is a Gala celebration and what that means, and the announcements were not always repeated in English).  The staff was nice, but I think they have to follow bad procedures. For example, the disembarkation meeting was primarily a sales pitch for future cruises and to rate the staff highly, and then she didn't have time for questions. The computer systems do not interface with the My costa system.....not worth the money spent.

Itinerary fabulous, daily Italian pasta just too much!

Entertainment by duo terrible, especially when the recording of Beethoven's 9th final chorus went totally and very painfully off-key! Had no one of production team noticed??

Ship ran out of alcohol-free beer on the third day, poor planning...

Lady M. Louisa  in charge of english-speaking passengers was the very best!!! Helpful, planning ahead, resourceful, kind and caring - we thank Costa for her!

1.  Cruise is not designed for those who don't speak Italian.  We only met one other person from English-speaking country.

2.  Karaoke was terrific.

3.  I love history so the stop in Corsica to see Napoleon's birthplace and Malta were very interesting. 

4.  Stops in Savona and La Marseille were disappointing.

5.  Easy to get to ship from Rome.  Train costs 5 Euros.

We went on this cruise for our 5th anniversary. The boat was nice and had enough entertainment. The ports were nice areas with a lot of places to eat and shop. I would recommend to a friend.

Desilución casi total, deben mejorar las actividades, tener más organización con relación a las excursiones, los empleados deben estar más orientados y ser más amables. Lo único que puedo decir, sobresalio en este crucero, fueron los empleados en la cena ( los meseros ) fueron muy amables y complacientes. Pero para mi en general le doy un tres de 10. Tomé esta linea de crucero por la ruta que tenía, que incluia Turquía, Egipto ,Israel, y algo de Grecia, pero a último momento fué cambiada, y ya no tuve tiempo para cambiar el crucero y por eso lo tomé, pero aunque ya conocía la linea en otro crucero que había hecho con ellos y sabía que no era excelente, esta vez fué demasiado decepcionante. 

The Costa web page lacks of enough information. We did not know anything about our dinner and if water was included or not. We got that information the first day we got to the ship because we went to the front desk and ask. Our room was old and dirty, some lights did not work, dusty, I had to fix the shower head because it would not  stay up, there was not an iron in the room we had to rent it!!! At dinner time we had to share our table with two other people!! We took the cruise as our honeymoon!! And we had to share table???? Even on breakfast you could not sit alone! And on the buffet people would just share the table because there was not enough space! The food is not that good (except on dinner) the buffet is until 4pm and there is a "Merienda" time that is just one hour!!! So people is mean doing the lines because is not enough time to do the line and eat in one hour! And if you are hungry between lunch and dinner there was just a pizza and salad place that closes at 6pm. So between 6 and 9 (second dinner time) there is nothing you can eat. The shows in the theater were mediocre except a few that were hire by Costa. I do not recommend this cruise and this Company.

I selected this cruise because of the excellent Itinerary.  If you want to see the most Northern capitals in the least number of days, this is the cruise to be on!  The food was filling, but not special; even on formal nights steak, shrimp or lobster were not on the menu.  There were fewer ship-activity choices than expected, but with excursions every day, we were pretty tired.  My husband and I were very satisfied with this cruise, as it was the destination that was important to us.  The staff was excellent.
