Ship experiences

Food and Dining

1 out of 5
This is the Achilles Heel for Costa. The food was good with very limited ability to change anything. The only time you were served in the main dining room was dinner. Breakfast and lunch was a buffet style outing. At dinner you must purchase all drinks this includes water. Repeat you must pay to receive anything to drink even water.

Onboard Activities

Service and Staff

4 out of 5
Best in Class Room Steward was excellent. Waiters in main dining room we're very good but they needed more personnel. To few dinner was a 2 hour to two and half.

Ship Quality

4 out of 5
Ship is beautiful. Dinning room and buffet layout was sub par. Also their lack of staff showed in cleanness at times.
