Thinking of booking Costa - A few Questions

[ShipsInBergen]

I've found a transatlantic on Coasta Atlantica which I really like the look of. I've asked this over on the Costa boards, but it's quiet over there, and I wanted to get your opinions too, as RCI have a product I really like.

 

I'm worried from what I've seen about a few things with the Costa 'experience'. I've cruised twice with RCI and once with P&O and enjoyed both. On a tight budget so not looking for 5*, but want a good holiday.

 

So here are the things which come to mind. I tried searching a few of them but there's not much on the Costa boards!

 

- What drinks are free of charge? Can you always get coffee/tea? On RCI they are always topping up your water glass at mealtimes and you can get lemonade and iced tea for no charge.

 

- What are the prices like on aclcohol? Can you bring any of your own onboard?

 

- Is there a steam/sauna provided at no extra charge?

 

- Is 24hr room service included?

 

Thanks. Sorry for all the questions! :rolleyes:
