Salve Posted July 25, 2014 #2 Share Posted July 25, 2014 My wife and I have spent the last couple New Years Eves on Costa in the Caribbean. We had a great time and are going again this year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dancer Bob Posted July 26, 2014 #3 Share Posted July 26, 2014 (edited) I did a New Years Eve on Mediterranea in the Caribbean a few years ago. Crowded, unpleasant, not nearly worth the money I paid. Won't do that again. Edited July 26, 2014 by Dancer Bob Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rowdyrosie Posted August 1, 2014 #4 Share Posted August 1, 2014 My daughter and I are cruising Costa for first time Dec27th. It has got to be fun having New Years on the Luminosa. New experience. You know the staff will do everything possible to make 2015 special. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
onyx007 Posted August 5, 2014 #5 Share Posted August 5, 2014 I and my parents (in their 60ties) will be on the Costa Fortuna in the Caribbean from the 26th of December and looking forward to it. For myself it will be even the first new year that I will be outside of my home country, Switzerland. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mypyr Posted September 30, 2014 #6 Share Posted September 30, 2014 Dancer Bob, I just booked the Holiday cruise for myself, my husband and 18 year old daughter. Will there be plenty of 18-21 year olds for my daughter to hang out with? She is friendly, beautiful and single lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mypyr Posted September 30, 2014 #7 Share Posted September 30, 2014 Salve, Are you going on the 12/22/14 11 night sailing? This is our first time on Costa, and I am hoping it is fun! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Salve Posted September 30, 2014 #8 Share Posted September 30, 2014 Salve, Are you going on the 12/22/14 11 night sailing? This is our first time on Costa, and I am hoping it is fun! No, we are on the December 27th cruise out of Miami. If you have an open mind to many different nationalities and their customs you will have a great time!

She is friendly, beautiful and single lol Not plenty, but there will be enough, though I don't know if they have European Standards or in the Caribbean they switch to US-Standards because in most European countries the legal age for drinking alkohol is 18! So that might be attractive to certain people... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So that might be attractive to certain people... If the ships is sailing from Miami, then the legal age to drink alcohol is 21 y.o., if the ship is sailing from a Caribbean port (i.e.Guadaloupe or Dom Rep) then the legal drinking age is 18 y.o.

Good to know, another reason for European Customers NOT to travel from Miami or Fort Lauderdale...I wonder what Costa does in this case with the All Inclusive Drink Package ? But that's now completly off topic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But that's now completly off topic. For Miami sailings, where the All Inclusive Drinks Package is required, anyone over 21 y.o. will get and be charged the full price, under 21 y.o. will get and be charged the kiddies package. I can just imagine the outcry at the Oktoberfest, if you had to be over 21 y.o. to drink a beer. :eek: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
