Costa Venezia is not on your list however: We embarked in Singapore for Tokyo Cruise a little concerned following negative reviews from first two Cruises from Triest - Dubai & Dubai - Singapore. All I can say was either Costa had put everything right or the people who wrote previous reviews on Cruise Critic were on another ship . The ship was amazing, food excellent and I can honestly say we thoroughly enjoyed our cruise. Entertainment was average varying between excellent and so so for a cruise line except for the amazing Tenor who was incredible far better than usual cruise ship standard . Would I cruise with Costa again most definitely YES! Great value for money. It’s not Celebrity but then again it was a fraction of celebrity prices. I would put Costa on a par with P&O.
