Creator's Key Takeaways
We've never been This is cruise number 60 and I don't know of any cruise lines that we've been on where you have to pay for a poolside burger.
Costa know how to party, and and if you love live music, you love that real vibrant uh vibe.
We've also noticed there was a a charge of €3 and it was on our internet and that's basically charge you €3 even though you bought the package.
It was absolutely superb. We had two fabulous waiters called Reese's and Rahul.

Join us in episode 2 of our Costa Smeralda Middle East cruise where the day starts in chaos! We eventually get to explore our first port of call Muscat in Oman, we experience more dining venues on board, we learn more about the strange ways of cruising with Costa, and one thing we know for sure Costa know how to party. Our Oman Gulf Desert On The Sea was just something else! We spent 7 nights on Costa Smeralda cruising from Dubai, to Muscat in Oman, Doha in Qatar, and Abu Dhabi in United Arab Emirates. We booked a Cruise Only Fare, in a Sea Balcony, with a My Drinks Bevarage Package and we paid £855 per person. We cruised on Costa Smeralda in February 2025.
