Good Points

Very clean and friendly staff, room sizes for a standard cabin are good and the rooms are well prepared and looked after, cleaned and beds prepared, mini bar is well stocked and the crew very helpful and all speak good english.


Bad Points

Some of the ports we were only in a few hours, like Bari and Izmir, would have been better to drop one of the ports and stay longer in others and the cost of the excursions was quite expensive. We only went on one the Olympia and all the other ports we did our own thing, at a fraction of the cost.


General Comments

We had a great holiday, the entertainment was good although probably not to the same standard as english or american ships, but it was certainly not bad. The food was good with quite a lot of variety, and 13 bars on board we had loads of choice. Definitely try the samsara spa, a one day pass is worth it because there is loads of space to relax and unwind.
We would recommend the Serena for a cheap cruise but the on board spend can soon add up. Make sure you ask your rep or ring Costa for the X1 drinks package, we only really drink with our meals and for the price of the package we definitely got our money's worth. Thanks Costa a good holiday overall.
