The ship Costa Deliziosa was beautiful, very Italian with lots of marble and very blingey! Premium cabins were excellent, with good balcony, plenty of space. Would have liked an adults only swimming pool as it was difficult to get a swim for jumping in children - also in an ideal world would have liked a bigger swimming pool. Service was excellent, and there were lots of different places on board to go to. Perhaps in reflection would prefer a smaller ship with less people - the Italians were rather noisy around pool, lido etc., although very good natured. It was good to be able to order breakfast in cabin as buffet was rather too busy- hectic even. Dinners were good, waiters excellent and it was nice to be put on a table with other English people of which there were very few on board. The entertainment in the theatre was not of such a high standard as have had for example on Norweigen Spirit, so think there is room for improvement there. However all the crew and staff were really good and information was good.

This was our first time on a cruise liner and it far exceeded our expections. I find it is impossible to say anything negative about the ship or the staff. The cabin was comfortable and kept very clean by our steward. All the staff were very attentive and made our stay completely stress free and comfortable. Out of 10 I would give a score of 11. Thank you for such a wonderful cruise, we shall return.
