Creator's Tips & Advice

If you have a bit of a right appetite, Wetherspoons is the one to go for at Gatwick Airport.
If you book flights independently for a fly cruise, be aware the ship will not wait if flights are delayed.
For convenience with luggage, consider a taxi from Marseille airport to the port.

YouTube Video Description

Day 1 of our Costa Diadema cruise to France, Italy and Spain started off very early. For this fly cruise we booked our flights independently from Gatwick to Marseille and we were very apprehensive. We arrived at the port in Marseille very early and were surprised by the welcome we received. Boarding Costa Diadema was unusual but went very smoothly and once onboard we set off to explore the ship. We ate in the main buffet for lunch and got some pleasing news about our cabin. In the evening we dined in an exclusive venue onboard and enjoyed some of the very late entertainment that ship had on offer. Our FULL Costa Diadema Review! - https://youtu.be/uE50K9_R2Xk Costa Diadema FULL SHIP TOUR - https://youtu.be/Fnl1uL7CNVk COSTA DIADEMA Balcony CABIN TOUR - https://youtu.be/EE_mv8Q7Duc Il primo giorno della nostra crociera Costa Diadema verso Francia, Italia e Spagna è iniziato molto presto. Per questa crociera volo abbiamo prenotato i nostri voli indipendentemente da Gatwick a Marsiglia e eravamo molto apprensivi. Siamo arrivati al porto di Marsiglia molto presto e siamo rimasti sorpresi dall'accoglienza ricevuta. L'imbarco sulla Costa Diadema è stato insolito ma è andato molto bene e una volta a bordo siamo partiti per esplorare la nave. El primer día de nuestro crucero Costa Diadema a Francia, Italia y España comenzó muy temprano. Para este crucero con vuelo reservamos nuestros vuelos de manera independiente desde Gatwick a Marsella y estábamos muy aprensivos. Llegamos al puerto de Marsella muy temprano y nos sorprendió la bienvenida que recibimos. El embarque en la Costa Diadema fue inusual pero transcurrió sin problemas y una vez a bordo nos dispusimos a explorar el barco. Der erste Tag unserer Costa Diadema Kreuzfahrt nach Frankreich, Italien und Spanien begann sehr früh. Für diese Flugkreuzfahrt haben wir unsere Flüge unabhängig von Gatwick nach Marseille gebucht und waren sehr besorgt. Wir kamen sehr früh im Hafen von Marseille an und waren überrascht von dem Empfang, den wir erhielten. Das Einsteigen auf die Costa Diadema war ungewöhnlich, verlief aber sehr reibungslos und einmal an Bord machten wir uns daran, das Schiff zu erkunden. Le premier jour de notre croisière Costa Diadema vers la France, l'Italie et l'Espagne a commencé très tôt. Pour cette croisière aérienne, nous avons réservé nos vols indépendamment de Gatwick à Marseille et nous étions très inquiets. Nous sommes arrivés très tôt au port de Marseille et avons été surpris par l'accueil que nous avons reçu. L'embarquement sur la Costa Diadema était inhabituel mais s'est déroulé très bien et une fois à bord, nous sommes partis explorer le navire.

We are relatively new to cruising, however we can now say we are officially hooked. Our mission is provide a fair and balanced review of our travels. We look at the types of food that is available onboard, from main dining rooms, room service, buffets and pool side snacks. We include menus for each of cruises so that we can share the selection of drinks and meals that are available. Entertainment onboard a cruise ship is important to us and we enjoy theatre production shows, live music, quizzes and game shows. We love to explore different ports and destinations and enjoy sharing tips and tricks so that you can make the most of each port. We often explore ports independently but also book excursions that are interesting to us.
