So all my old paper coffee cards are garbage?

So got the email and oh yes it is a saving. I also faked a booking to see regular price, compared apples to apples, and it was double the price. Basically going on a one week cruise in a BD balcony on Riviera for 478.00 for two people on the Sky Princess once all the OBC applied. Staying home would cost us more 😎

So they are not checking or taking out more than 2 bottles of wine per couple in Fort Lauderdale ?

Can one person buy it on-board and just drink the brewed coffee and the other just use the specialty coffee?

Was the case last time we cruised. How about now?

Who is the maître d on Sky Princess ? Sailing Feb 2022

Can you bring wine or water when you embark ?

I still have the old palate coffee cards. Can I still use them

is it true Elites have to pay for internet ?

Do they test passengers for Covid periodically or is it only the PCR taken before cruise ?

Grand Bar- usually there are two groups alternating, 6 PM to 1 AM. Cruise staff games at 8.30 PM and 10.30 PM. The groups usually play a good mix of music, depending what the passengers want. Is that what you found? Was there a Latin Dance Group on board (they do shows in the Grand Bar)?

Piano Bar, what was your evaluation? Did they try to provide alternatives, especially during the cruise staff games?

Pizza til 1 AM, half price Costa Club?

Music was ok but the line dancing got old fast. 
yes, pizza 1/2 price with Costa Card

Hi!

 

We are sailing on 1/25. 

 

Wondering what time we can get on the ship?

 

We have a guarantee cabin and could select dinner, how does that work?

 

Thanks!

They will start boarding around noon. 
I suggest you go to the matre d upon boarding and get the table and seating you want. You only have two choices. 6:15 or 8:30. You will find him at Samsura restaurant Deck 2. 

We did not travel with children. However, we did see many children onboard kept busy by staff.  They looked liked the were having a fine time. 
Re: upgrading beverage package.  Don’t do it.  If you want a better wine just pay for it.  Not worth upgrading.  

I’m willing to pay it forward. Ask away?

We got upgraded to a mini suite from a BC balcony. First cruise with Costa 

Either or lol 😂 

We will be on the Luminosa next week. I read that there is a bar on-board where “English“ speaking people hang out. Can anyone tell me which one it is?

We just got upgraded to a mini suite from a BC balcony? Do we get all the perks even though we did not pay for this category ?

We have never been on a cruise where tap water was not offered at all meals and in drink machines around the ship.  We have been on 14 different cruise lines.  We have an upcoming  Costa cruise (first time on them for about 20 years) on the Mediterranea in February 2020 but  we have the Intenditore drinks package.   Will water be included in this package?  🥛  🥛

Yes

We never had an issue with Princess, Celebrity, Holland America, RCClL or NCL table water in the MDR. 

I agree with comments above. However, regular tap water should be served in the main dining room. We have a beverage package so this does not apply to us. However, leaving from Fort Lauderdale I believe this will not be an issue. I’ll let you know in a month. 

We just want to take a swim and lay on the sand with our towels. Anywhere near Atlantis to do this? 

Any other suggestions welcome. 

It’s kind of ridiculous talking about water. Should be free period, exclamation mark. Very tacky of Costa. 

Curious as not mentioned in description

Where did you see the OBC? Does it show online in your account? Thanks.

Yes, it shows. Otherwise, a quick call to Costa to confirm. 

Yes you will get shareholder credit even if you got OBC. Costa will email you with confirmation. We received it within days of sending 

Yes, of course
