Review summary
I would not recommend Costa Cruise line. Our room balcony was nice and our dinner service was great. John was wonderful. But Costa is very cheap. Even water and coffe are not included. They try and upsale you even at dinner. You get very basic food. If you are an American, stick with an American cruise line. There are not enough seats for everyone in Buffet. The lines are very long and the management staff do not help if you have a complaint. And the tours in Sardina and Genoa are not worth the money. Also watch your bill, they charge you fir items after you leave.Embarkation

Ship tip
Costa is very cheap. Nothing is free. Not water or coffee. They charge for everything. And they make ut very hard to get your food and coffee in the morning. At curtain times, 10-12:30 there us nit food available only if you pay for it. I.
