This is great,

thanks so much!

Thank you both so much for your replies.

Yes, mum and dad are coming from Australia.

Its complicated however, in that, I am coming from Hong Kong and booked through a US site..

We will just prepare for the extra 10Euro PP, Per day and the tax that will be added to any drinks.

Thanks!

Tipping is not something expected where I am from so I just want to check what is the protocol on Costa.

If we are having a regular meal (not the high end restaurant), are we required to tip? Do we tip right at the end of the meal? Or only end of the cruise?

How about if we order a drink?

Will there be any hidden surprises at the end of the cruise on our bill? Just want to plan and prepare ahead of time.

Thanks!

Great, thanks again!

Wonderful!

Thank you so much for this info :)

Hi there!

I have just joined cruise critic and have found this is such a useful tool! Really appreciate everyones sharing...

I will be traveling to Barcelona for Diadema cruise with my parents, husband and then 10 month old baby in April. I assume they are not strict with bringing baby food on board right? Or will they help to make in the restaurants?

Does anyone have experience with traveling on Costa with little ones?

Thanks in advance!

Thank you so much! This is very helpful!

We are also cruising Diadema over Easter.

Question: What time can we board in Barcelona?

We are staying in nearby accommodation and will check out at 12pm. Can we go straight to the ship?
