Creator's Key Takeaways

Costa do get a lot of um wrap because of they come bot in a lot of the surveys out there is probably one of the worst cruise lines out there

the food standard across the board for us was excellent and we didn't expect that on cost

we would go out on the balcony and continually we would smell smoke so that was really frustrating

the app was really really good and the Wi-Fi which we obviously had to pay for was also incredibly good

Creator's Tips & Advice

βœ“Use the app for all daily information and excursion details
βœ“Avoid the buffet during peak times due to crowded and rude behavior
βœ“Consider a balcony cabin but be aware of smoking issues
