Creator's Key Takeaways

I spent a week on Cruise Critic's worst-rated cruise line, and it was not exactly what I expected.

I can't help but agree with the rating.

The buffet's food quality was better than I expected too.

I am not rushing to take another Costa cruise.

Creator's Tips & Advice

Read Cruise Critic reviews thoroughly before booking.
Consider dining all a cart instead of purchasing a dining package for better value.
Be prepared for limited daytime programming and poor crowd management.
