Costa Magica Review (lengthy!:

[jhall131]

I was told to put the alcohol in your checked luggage and there is no problem.

It is no nice of you to write such a nice review if the Magica.

 

We are on the 8th floor balcony. What room where you in? Was it noisy, or alot of ship movement?

 

When you asked for mattress toppers, where they a comforter, or a full size matress?

 

Thanks for answering everyones questions

You are right about the passport-- I'm Canadian and I had to take mine with me each time. I did see Americans with just government-issue i.d. and the Costa Card.

 

I'd love to know how people got alcohol on board. I got caught every time! Lol!

 

 

Can a drivers license be a government issue id? I am American:D and costa card.

We were in 8281. Not alot of noise, a bit in the hall from Spring Breakers, but really nice. We were on the Right side of the ship, if you are looking forward at the bow. We didn't see a lot of scenery, we usually docked on the other side.

 

There was not a lot of ship movement, especially because we were up so high and in the middle. But, you could feel it moving a bit. In common areas we felt it (it was terribly rough).

 

Yes, licence works fine!

 

The matress was a full matress made of foam. Like sleeping on a cloud. Ask for it RIGHT away when you meet your steward.

Trying to decide if we'll park at the port or take advantage of the special rate for Costa at Park n Fly. So....

 

Do you recall if you returned to the same berth you left from?:confused:

Yes, you leave from port 21 and return to Port 21.

Yes, you leave from port 21 and return to Port 21.

 

I believe this might change from cruise to cruise and from embarkation to disembarkation on the same cruise. At least ours did.

Yes, you leave from port 21 and return to Port 21.

 

 

Check cruisecal.com for Port Everglades, for the day you sail and the day you return. If there are 7 ships in port, than you're usually all set with port 21. If there are more than 7 ships that day, you may not be at port 21.
