We are booked for April 12th, the extra discount and free cirque show made it seem like a good deal. I figure if I don't like the finalized deck plans or our upcoming Divina sailing we could always cancel.

We are on this cruise. Staying in YC inside

Thanks for your comments! This is our first time to Europe and we went the cruise ship route so we didn't have to deal with planes, trains and automobiles:) But I want to see some of Europe, so I am nervous about my shore excursions being cancelled and being left without a plan. I do think that the shore excursions seem to be reasonably priced..so I want to use them in some cases, but all I have to go on is the rather limited information that Costa puts on its website. I wish I did speak Italian! Or any other language for that matter. The USA does not stress language in its education system unfortunately. I had three years of Spanish, but I am afraid that living in northern Minnesota, that is long forgotten now. I guess I will make a plan B for all of my ship shore excursions, just in case....

 

I will most assuredly have some questions for you when you get back, if you don't mind:)

Costa comes in highest for sanitation with 37% of their inspections coming in at 100%

I too am nervous about my Costa cruise in Nov. The reviews and complaints are on par with the RCCL cruise I am also holding. The excursion cancelling is worrisome. I'm going to call Costa on Monday and see if they will put notes in our account that we will accept Italian excursions if not enough people sign up for English. I will remember the sites long after I have forgotten what the guide says. Good luck to you on your cruise. Please let us know if you go with Costa and how it was.
