Creator's Key Takeaways

I've sailed on dozens of cruise ships over the years, but the Costa Dimma caught my attention for all the right reasons.

The Italian flare is obvious everywhere you look, from the marble floors to the carefully chosen artwork.

The food quality is consistently good across all venues with the specialty restaurants being particularly impressive.

The internet service, while available throughout the ship, can be slow and expensive compared to land-based standards.

Creator's Tips & Advice

Research purchasing spa products on land instead of buying on board to save money.
Claim a covered spot on the sun deck early during popular sea days.
Consider upgrading to an ocean view cabin for the natural light if your budget allows.
