My Aunty and I had an absolutely fabulous time on our mini Mediterranean cruise with Costa. My aunty has walking difficulties and I worried how she would cope on boarding the ship and on board. I needn’t have worried at all. The crew on board were so helpful and cheery all the time. Nothing was too much trouble for them. I was also a little concerned about the language barrier as the reviews I’d read had mixed reviews on the communication on announcements, etc. There was not a problem at any point of the cruise. Everyone spoke perfect English! The ship itself was immaculate and very Italianesque which was very nice. Food was brilliant and short of nothing. Entertainment was a little repetitive but non the less entertaining each night. I woudn’t hesitate at all to book another cruise with Costa.

Can never forgot this Very bad experience with Costa cruise some years ago, almost lost my luggage with no apology. Stupid staff gave the 2 of us 1 single emergency life pack for clothes exchange. Can never accept this stupid idea, how can the 2 of us share a single pack! Will never go on Costa cruise again! Ridiculous poor cruise management.
