Blondie008 Posted October 4, 2012 #1 Share Posted October 4, 2012 There is often a lot of negative vibes - Thought it would be nice to remind ourselves of the things we DO love about Costa: Off the top of my head: Love that the MDR opens every day even when in port. Most of the cruiselines I have sailed with - only open the buffet for lunch whereas Costa - do a full service lunch in the MDR daily - port or at sea - makes no odds. But warning to newbies - DO check your Today programme as lunch times in the MDR do vary, some days it can open 11.30am, others 12 noon or 12.30 - so do check your Today programme. LOVE Costa All Inclusive - Its a no brainer huh - at 19.5 euros per day - for quality drinks, decent wine, great cocktails and mocktails - I dont know any other line who makes cruising so affordable. LOVE short port days - I am not one for spending all day at port - so for me - a short port day encourages me to get off ship for a couple of hours - and be back on to enjoy the rest of the day. LOVE the smoking bars - yup - like it or not - can still smoke without being treated like a leper on Costa Can think of loads of other things - but how about you - whats your favourite reasons for cruising with Costa?

CtheW0rld Posted October 5, 2012 #3 Share Posted October 5, 2012 the smoking policy, ambiance, food and great (unusual) itineraries all make me choose costa. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blondie008 Posted October 5, 2012 Author #4 Share Posted October 5, 2012 On NeoR - in the bars - before dinner - waiters would bring around little trays of amuse bouche' - (not on Magica sadly - rice crackers, crisps and peanuts) - but on both ships - trays of midnight snacks - rather like Celebrity's - On NeoR - the waiters knew I was gluten free so would bring me the tomato and basil amuse bouche - was really nice! On Magica one night - the waiter brought me a beautiful plate of chocolates - late on - in the piano bar - he heard me mention I wanted a sweet drink - brought me a White Russian and a yummy plate of chocolates - where he got them from I dont know - but they were lovely!
