Sister ship to the Costa Pacifica and Costa Serena, the 3,000-passenger Costa Favolosa is intended to be the essence of ship interior design, reflecting the magic and glamour that consistently inspire Costa Cruises. Costa Favolosa features Costa onboard innovations such as the 4D Theater, 18-hole Golf Simulator, Grand Prix Race Car Driving Simulator, PlayStation World and Samsara Spa. There are various unique dining opportunities to choose from, including specialty restaurants that feature menus created by Michelin-starred chef Ettore Bocchia. Meanwhile, an extensive selection of bars and lounges and extravagant theater productions nicely complement Costa’s lively evening lineup.
There’s no chance of going hungry during your time on Costa Favolosa, and with several different restaurants to choose from, every guest will be able to refuel ready for the exciting shore excursions:
If you’re looking for a cruise experience that is just as memorable for the time you spend on the ship as the hours spent exploring the exciting destinations, then look no further than Costa Favolosa. For those wanting some family-friendly, laidback entertainment, the 4D cinema is an engaging way to keep all the family amused while foodies are delighted by The Bravo Chef show. In addition to the various bars and lounges serving your favourite drinks, including fine wines, craft beers and classic cocktails, the onboard nightclub is perfect for guests who like getting their dancing shoes on and moving on the dancefloor late into the night.
There is no shortage of activities to please all the family onboard Costa Favolosa. One of the most popular areas is the pool deck, with a specially reserved aqua park area so that kids can enjoy themselves too. Away from the pool, the Grand Prix Simulator is a fun way to spend some time pretending to be an F1 driver. If you’d like to find some peace and quiet for a little while, head to the library where you can lose yourself in one of the many books available. For anyone who steps onboard and realises they’ve forgotten to pack some holiday essentials, the Costa Boutique has everything you could possibly need (and more) for a great price.
We went to Brazil in March with Costa Favolosa we find it very dissapointing with the food and no buffet. After 5pm very little English speaking and it's costly for drinks and is dirty spoke to the waiter and they just look at you not recommend this ship but I hope not every costa ship is the same .
We found the ship to be in excellent condition and well maintained. However, there were issues regarding extra expenses on board for items that on other cruise lines would have been free. The compulsory service charge would seem to be a way of extracting further money from the customer on top of the cruise price. The General Conditions state the contract price includes the services and facilities set out in the brochure. The layout of the ship in some areas was poorly designed. The reception area was badly positioned next to an entertainment venue and the noise level was not condusive to business needs at the desk. Lauren the Argentinian guest manager was extremely helpful and professional. Our waiters (Ruel and Rodrigo) and cabin steward (Generoso) were excellent and without fault. However, some additional training for other members of staff would be desirable. An example: staff pushing past you,not greeting you as is expected on other cruise ships where the customer always comes first. This could be a first class ship if these issues were resolved and apart from these examples given we enjoyed our cruise.
