Cruising Italian Style is a unique and interesting one.
This is my third time on Costa so I feel real confident sailing with them.
Embarkation was organized for the most part; the set up is similar to an airport
except everyone is getting on the same ship. Once I arrived on the ship the
interior decoration immediately stood out, there is Italian art work and
furniture everywhere, beautiful to the eye. The crew are very nice people that
are always eager to help you. I stayed in a category 10 which is an ocean view
with a balcony; it was very nice and spacious. The dining was exceptionally
good; I enjoyed the different types of foods they had to offer. I know when you
think Italian Cruise Line you think of Italian food, but they did have other
choices that cater to your American taste. I don’t gamble too much but if I was
a high roller the casino would be more than adequate for me, they had almost
every game you could imagine. The ports of calls were your usual Eastern
Caribbean ports. However, I did make the very best of it by taking shore
excursions and having a good time with my wife (we were celebrating our 15th
wedding anniversary). To sum it up, our trip with Costa was exciting as always
and I cannot wait until our next cruise this summer when we go to the Greek
Islands on the Costa Victoria. I would recommend this cruise line any day; they
provide you with a European style of cruising which is a wonderful way to get
away from your typical American lifestyle.
