We didn't know what to expect though after we booked we read lots of reviews giving a negative impression. This got us worried but after our cruise we thought most of these are unfounded. The ship was really nice and the staff did a good job of keeping it clean. The food was good so I don't know why some complain. The staff worked so hard all the time that I felt sorry for them I even tipped extra to a few individuals. Entertainment was catered to the many nationalities but it wasn't the best. I was mildly entertaining. This is an Italian ship so expect that the majority will be Italians on board and their customs are different than ours. Anyone from North America were definitely the minority onboard. The ports and itinerary were good which is why we choose the cruise. I thought it was a really good cruise though I wouldn't rush to cruise on Costa again. ]]> Wed, 14 Jul 2010 21:29:42 -0500
