Review summary
As a first-time cruiser, I don't have any previous experiences to compare it to, but I must say that the ship was wonderful. It was new, clean, and impressively large, accommodating up to 8000 people with the crew. The food was delicious, and the shows were excellent. However, I must note that the ship doesn't cater to English-speaking guests, so communication can be a bit of a problem. It felt a bit isolating since most of the passengers didn't speak English, but luckily, I know some Spanish which helped. The crew and excursion staff speak English, but not fluently, so it's essential to be patient.Embarkation

Ship tip
They do not cater to English speaking customers. If this does not bother you, fine. However, if I had a choice, I would not go again on Costa because I felt very isolated. Almost no English speaking passengers and the staff, excursions, etc do speak English, don't expect them to speak well. Communication may be a problem
