Creator's Key Takeaways

i have now cruised with royal caribbean with ncl with disney with carnival with aida mine shift with msc and now with costa

it was a totally OK cruise with some very positive surprises but i still think costa may not be for everyone

the shows have become a huge part of the cruising experience and if you love broadway style shows you are not going to enjoy a costa cruise

if you're a fan of a huge selection in the buffet and a huge selection in the main dining room in the evening you're not gonna be happy on costa

Creator's Tips & Advice

βœ“If you enjoy big swimming pools and water slides, choose a different cruise line.
βœ“If you need quiet pool time, avoid Costa due to loud activities.
βœ“If you want traditional quiz competitions with prizes, Costa may not satisfy.

YouTube Video Description↓

After cruising with Royal Caribbean, Carnival, NCL, Disney Cruise Line, MeinSchiff, AIDA, Celebrity, and MSC, I decided it's time to take a chance on the Italian line of Costa. I boarded the Costa Luminosa in Barcelona on on February 7th and cruised to Palermo, Marseilles, Valencia, Cicichewbacca, and Savona. It was a totally OK cruise with some very positive surprises, but I still think Costa may not be for everyone. #costa #cruise #barcelona Get my NEW BOOK!
