Costa Romantica

Pros: nothing worth mentioning
Cons: food terrible, service terrible, ship incredibly simple and boring, terrible experience.

Costa Cruise lines - Magica was a terrible disappointment. I had read a lot of reports the food was bad on Costa lines. I got scared when the first day our cruise director warned us the food wouldn’t be what we would expect, as we are not familiar with ...

We cruised both Eastern and Western Caribbean itineraries in the...

Pros: food, service, ports-of call
Cons: Spring break, inadequate time in certain ports
