Salve

Just curious.

What is you least favorite Costa port of call and why?

costa, and pretty much all the major lines, have cancelled all stops in egypt for the forseeable future: http://www.cruisecritic.com/news/news.cfm?ID=5482

 

such a shame. keep in mind, if the stops are ever reinstated, they may be cancelled again at a moments notice.

AC - thanks. Just what I thought. I'm curious as to what their plans are for fall 2014 as they have Tunisia and Egypt on their schedules.

Does Costa still call on Port Said and Alexandria?

Does this include taxes???

Not sure about the taxes. Pretty sure it includes the All Inclusive package

I am booked on the Dec 6 cruise from Savona and will be flying into Genoa airport. I have looked at other posts on here which talk a lot about transfers from Savona to the airport that Costa do and can be booked on board.

 

Wanted to find out about getting to the ship. I have found a number of taxi / private transfer options that range from 79 Euros and up. Cannot see anything on Costa about pre booking a bus transfer.

 

What are people who have done this tips and links if you have any to transfer providers that worked well…?

 

Thanks in advance for any help!

We take the Costa coach transfer from GOA to the ship in Savona and return. Takes about 40 minutes.

It's pre-purchased thru Costa.

We always do our own air reservations from the US. Never thru Costa.

No, the pools are not heated. They are seawater.

All eight Costa cruises we have been on were like that. That's another reason we like Costa!

it is my opinion that the epic is the ugliest ship afloat on the outside, anyway. what were they thinking?

Agreed!
