"We did book a trip through Costa which was cancelled the night before due to a lack of other Brits on the ship (we only met one other British party) which was disappointing as we were looking forward to a guided tour of Genoa.One night we found ourselves sitting in the nightclub before it opened as it was the only place with seating available!..."Read More

1-10 of 55 Europe Costa Fortuna Europe Cruise Reviews
Did a 3 night mini cruise and had an enjoyable time overall.
We weren’t fans of the breakfast and lunch buffets; it was too much a canteen. We are used to P&O and Royal Caribbean where you are able to help yourself rather than queue for someone else to put everything on the plate for you. The queues for drinks were also huge so we never enjoyed a drink with lunch.
Unfortunately we were put ...
We choose a nice cruise from Savona around the Mediterranian Sea.
But very bad service, unfriendly crew and bar members at the pool area and also in the main restaurant.
At a White Party Night, waiters going around with a trolley and want to sell you "White Sangria", you have to pay fot it extra. 6 Euro for a glass of Sangria !!
French fries / burgers after 5 pm also for extra paying ...
We gave this a 1 only because of the spacious and well-organized ocean view cabins. However we will never sail on Costa again. There were numerous problems from even before we sailed -
*user-unfriendly website One example: the option for buying Internet package disappeared about 2 weeks before sailing - "yes, there's a problem. It's not working" forcing anyone who hadn't bought already to buy ...
EMBARKATION
This took about 40 minutes end-to-end, which was much faster than other cruises I have been on.
Disembarkation at ports was well managed and fast, aside from one occasion when it was complete chaos after a docking delay, as passengers were not provided with revised timings. Timely information was provided on the procedure at ports, plus advice on local customs, tourist ...
30 night Relocation voyage from Barcelona to Singapore. Embarkation was quick and straightforward due to priority check in.The suite was well appointed with coffee making machine, dressing room, enormous shower with rain shower and plenty of hot water, twin vanity basins plus heaps of storage space. Spotless cabin and large balcony under the control of Marvin the Butler.
The suite included all ...

We did the 7 Night Cruise June 2019
Started at Genoa and did France Spain and back to Italy on the Costa Fortuna.
Rooms were great like most cruise ships, clean and always well looked after by our stewart.
The food was amazing in our eyes , fresh pasta and always nice and hot
if your wanting that little extra , the Dinners and Breakfasts in the diffrenet rooms around the ship were ...
We Booked the Costa Fortuna, as we had had such a good cruise on the Costa Pacifica. We had a Large cabin with broken shower, broken heating system and a Leaking tap on sink, Damaged shower curtain, hence water on the floor and the Tv control did not function. Not a good start.
We found the food was of poor quality and was always served warm or cold, never a hot meal in a week. Poor selection ...
As a third time cruiser on other lines many years ago- but a friend was taking me I was trying to save them money. What a horrible mistake choosing this old tugboat. From beginning to end there were so many things wrong. We got an inside cabin - actually not a problem in itself. The cabin crew were wonderful and attentive. The cabin was fine. The staff at the Hospitality desk were ...
We cruised with Costa for the first time in 2018, on the Diadema. It was excellent, so we booked again on the Fortuna.
All in all, it was a good cruise, but I felt not as good an experience as the Diadema.
The ship is smaller for a start, and I missed the numerous bars and extra expanse of the Diadema.
The staff were in the large part nice and friendly with a few exceptions. Those who ...
