    Good Points: Itinerary was good and the ship was smooth... decor was nice, and our waiters, Armstrong and Vincent, and cabin steward, Hugo, were great people. Evening entertainment was very good the Crew show was excellent and the steel drum band "Island Magic" was phenomenal.


    Bad Points: Unfortunately we were part of the less than 100 English speaking guests among 2100 others who looked right through us if we greeted them with Good morning in English. The officers made no attempt to approach any English speaking tables in the dining room. The atmosphere in general was very cold and unfriendly.Drinks were overpriced - $3.75 for a can of Coke - ( 2.5 Euros ....everything priced in Euros. ) and nothing but ice water and coffee was free to drink - give me a break !!!! We paid a lot of money for the cruise this seemed very cheap on their part .. Desserts were repetitious and nothing special .. very disappointing ... portions at most meals were very small - for instance, three little slices of duck, likely 2 ounces, if that, and a teeny piece of potato - No lobster or crab on the menu ever - in general the menu was poor, and pasta every meal gets old really fast, athough the pasta was tasty and it did help fill you up.


    General comments: Luckily we did meet some other Canadians and had a good time because of them - it was not because of anything Costa did. The smoking onboard is still prevalent ... and unpleasant ... We would never go on another Costa cruise - there are much better experiences out there for much less money.

    I don't mean to trash the ship. It's kind of fun in a nutty, Vegas way, as many ships are. It's just that this is not really a cruise for North Americans and besides, you know what? The Canadians on board didn't even merit a lifeboat drill. It was held the day before we left.

    We have been on several cruises and this was by far the best of the lot, we enjoyed every thing about it, the staff were great, food was fantastic, exspecially the buffets each night, service in the restaurants was second to none, we were treated brilliantly.
    Will recommend this cruise to every one, this ship was fab.

    My boyfriend and I booked a last-minute Caribbean Cruise with Costa Atlantica the beginning of January 2006. My boyfriend and I enjoyed our time together - the Caribbean is always such a beautiful place to visit - but I had some concerns about the cruise itself.

    I would suggest that you not recommend the Costa cruiseline for anyone wishing to go to the Caribbean. The cruiseship, Atlantica, was a beautiful one, I do concede that. The interiors were fashioned after famous Italian cafes an ...

    I would not recommend the Costa Cruise Lines to anyone. If this would have been our first cruise we would never want to go on another cruise. The waiters and room stewards, and bartenders were great!! Passengers were very rude!!!
