" COSTA FORTUNE "
Submitted By: Amanda1987
Costa Fortuna should be called Costa Fortune! Drinks - extremely expensive, everyone who books online without a brochure beware of the £6.50 per day per person, surcharge that includes people over the age of 16 and beware of the 15% surcharge on all drinks! Costa Fortuna is far to big in general and it could have been run more efficiency for example queuing to embark/disembark the ship, queuing at least 1 hour 30 mins to register your credit card in order to pay for drink etc on board and queuing for dinner. Don’t get me wrong i had a lovely time as the accommodation and ship was extremely clean, the service was very good (but not conducted well) The food was ok and had plenty of choice.
We was there on our 25th Wedding anniversary and the Capitan renewed our vows which was a memory of a lifetime.
There were hardly any English people on board (around 100 out of 3000)
I would go on another cruise but not with Costa Fortune and had a great time but i would definitely chose a more comfortable more friendly smaller cruise.

Delicious food (deserves even a 9), friendly staff. Pity that is was such a noisy ship (entertainment, many unsupervised children running all over the ship). Spacious rooms.
Itinerary (eastern part of the Mediterranean) was well chosen and the guides were very competent and seemed to love their job.
Maybe ideal for families with young(er) children, but not so for 55+

" Me and my partner did the Costa... "
Submitted By: Miss Ra Lloyd
Me and my partner did the Costa Fortuna first Caribbean cruise in Nov 2007. We had never cruised before, but really enjoyed it.
Our cabin was on deck 1. I was expecting it to be tiny, so was surprised by the space.
Food was really nice. There are 2 sittings on an evening, ours was 8.30pm, luckily, the first being 6.30pm, which is a little too early in my opinion.
Dress code was meant to be formal, as there was a lot of Americans, it wasn’t so! One extreme to another on gala nights, women in prom type dresses, men in dickey bows, then surf shorts and very casual t-shirts on other people! Rather bizarre I know, but to knowledge nobody was refused entry to the restaurant.
The staff were really friendly, especially the waiters. Receptionists could do with being abit more polite though, bit stroppy at times with guests with problems not being their fault e.g. key cards, computer systems going down during payments...
Entertainment on the poolside through the day kept you entertained, if not the crazy Americans having dance offs! There was a reggae band on most days they were really good, felt like we really were in the Caribbean mannnn!
Entertainment on a night wasn’t that brilliant, maybe me and my partner are in between ages, being 26,and 28.disco - for the teenagers, theatre - over 50`s?,lounge [where stage games like mr&mrs, and bingo]- families, Italians, ballroom dancers.
There is a nice piano bar were violinists were playing with a modern twist. The lounge was our best option!
I would definitely do a Costa cruise again, if only for the gorgeous fresh pizzas 24 hrs a day!
