Creator's Key Takeaways

Kirk and I stayed in a mini suite on the aft, and the wraparound balcony was easily one of the best views we've had on any ship.

The way I would describe the energy on the Costa Fascinosa, high energy days, high energy nights, constant fun.

One thing that I have to point out to you though is that water is an extra cost on all of the Costa Line ships.

On our sailing in Brazil, we were the only Englishspeaking guests that we met on the ship and we loved it.

Creator's Tips & Advice

Budget for extra water costs on Costa ships.
Join CC Club loyalty program for benefits.
Check out the aft mini-suite for great views.
