Creator's Key Takeaways

I have been on I think eight cruise lines maybe nine cruise lines before and I just went on my first ever Costa cruise

I had a fantastic time but it I wouldn't say it was a relaxing cruise I would say it was a colorful lively full of life ship

The price I paid for this cruise was just map so including flights to Venice from Gatwick it was 400 pounds

The food in the main dining room was really really good the menu is a proper Italian menu aka there's about seven courses

Creator's Tips & Advice

Consider Costa Cruises for budget-friendly Mediterranean itineraries
Be prepared for a lively, multicultural atmosphere rather than a relaxing cruise
Book well in advance for the best prices, as last-minute deals can be very cheap
