Verdict

– Cruise Passenger 

“…For the first cruise we received a free upgrade from inside to balcony, which was a real treat. My wife has special dietary needs and was looked after superbly by the crew, delivering food to the room every morning at no extra charge. The interior is tastefully done, certainly the most appealing of all cruise ships we have been on. The ship was kept impeccably clean…”

– Cruise Critic 

“…Considering we paid £350 for our weeks cruise including flights, luggage, a extra night in a 4 star hotel in Barcelona I think we have had a excellent holiday. Would I cruise with Costa again?… Most definitely…”
