Ship: Costa Smeralda

Review summary

Guys if you don’t care about food and don’t mind Italians acting like they own the ship then please go ahead and book with Costa. Other than that even their laundry service ruined our clothes.

Embarkation

1 out of 5
Can’t believe we had to leave at 8 am.

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

1 out of 5
We kept on getting sick from the food. The drinks package is crazy expensive for what they offer at the bar.

Onboard Activities

1 out of 5
We couldn’t do anything because it was filled with kids!! Even the adult only pool has kids!!!!

Entertainment

1 out of 5
Shows were a joke, disco was a joke and the only entertainment was the casino.

Children's Programs

No kids

Service and Staff

1 out of 5
Staff were always in a bad mood I swear!!

Ship Quality

5 out of 5
I didn’t like the layout everything was far from each other but it was clean.

Cabin / Stateroom

3 out of 5
We had a balcony cabin it was fine the bathroom was big and bed was comfy. It was smaller than photos though.

Ship tip

My tip is to leave the ship and explore around because the food sucks and there’s no entertainment.
