Costa Fortuna, Costa Cruises

Just finished our 7 days cruise yesterday, it was a good experience and everything was very well organized. Crew from all levels and positions were helpful and friendly. Foods were good and delicious, but sausage & salami all was pork which we as Muslims, could not use it! Free Drinking water also was a serious problem on board costa fortuna , sometimes having bad taste and smell. Thanks to all of them.

Fortuna is showing her age but still a nice ship. In the last few years Costa have reduced the extras and try to get more money from selling as many extras as possible. For instance they use to be regular ice cream from machines most days but these were only switched on once in 9 days. The inclusive drinks deal was excellent value though. The staff were friendly. The food was delicious . However as the breakfast and lunch times sometimes finished quite early it was a bit of a bun fight. The experience is a bit like an exuberant 'Italian Butlins' on the sea! Good fun if a little hectic and at times chaotic. We had a great time.
