Costa Victoria

Pros: Beautiful ship, great staff, fun atmosphere, amazing midnight buffets
Cons: Few for the money paid. No wooden decks, staff sometimes fairly rushed, Continental European menu

Costa Victoria 7th March 2004 History Cruise in East Med Overview We were attracted to this cruise by the reasonable price and interesting itinerary (visiting Italy, Egypt, Turkey and Greece). Before booking I read ‘official’ cruise guide ...

Pros: Beautiful Clean Ship
Cons: Everything Else

My Wife myself and my 3 children (Ages 15,8,8) sailed on the Victoria April 13 for a 7 day cruise to the Eastern Caribbean. My wife and I previously sailed on the Costa Carla C 22 years ago and had high expectations for this cruise, our children's...

Pros: The Ship is BEAUTIFUL!
Cons: Bad Food, Aloof Crew, Rude Shipmates, Small Rooms, Expensive Drinks, Very Disorganized

I was immediately concerned when I had to produce ID at four separate points to board. Carnival checks you once then takes your picture … very secure. Costa never took our picture, but seemed obsessed with having people who barely spoke English...

Pros: Large Ship, Friendly Crew... Nothing More...
Cons: Doesn't Compare To Other Cruises

My family's 4th cruise was on the Costa Victoria. We picked the Costa Victoria for a couple of reasons, the prices which were very low and the huge size of the ship. We took the Costa Victoria from Ft.Lauderdale, Florida on an eastern Caribbean cruise....

Pros: quiet crowd, treated like a God, Clean ship
Cons: Too many rude Europeans

I took the Costa Cruise in March 1995. In general I thought it was terrific. From the time of boarding until about the end of your trip you feel like a V.I.P. The staff was extremely friendly and waited on you hand and foot. We took advantage of...

Pros: New, nice ship
Cons: not good for the money

Pros: The piano man.
Cons: The food.

My cruise upon the Costa Victoria was the second cruise I have taken. After the first one with Royal Carribean, I was slightly disappointed, but it was still a fun time.

We had a group of 24 people, ages ranging from 18 to 60, boarding the...

Pros: FOOD, SERVICE, ACTIVITIES
Cons: NO GLITTER, ROOMS COULD BE BIGGER

My wife, son and myself had the opportunity to travel on the Costa Victoria ship in March of this year. At first glance we were disappointed, but we soon changed that thought. The Victoria is not a glittery ship as the other ships we have cruised on....

Pros: clean,good staff
Cons: Food, no bathroom amenities,no non-smoking lounge

Just returned from a Baltic Cruise (August 2008). All in all the ship was pretty and very clean. Our balcony room was very roomy. The food did not meet expectations. The stewards did a good job in the room and dining area. The non-smoking areas of the ...

Pros: good meals, great performances
Cons: okay service, small room

When I went on the Costa Victoria, it was very mediocre. The service was fine, the room was not nice at all, and the food was decent. The entertainment was amazing, but on a seven-day cruise, they had 2 repeat performances. I went during the winter,...

Pros: Ports of call
Cons: Chef de Cuisine, cabin size, service

In 1997 18 family members and friends and myself embarked on what we thought would be a wonderful adventure for one week aboard the Costa Victoria! Our itinerary was the Eastern Caribbean.

I had recommended this trip to everyone since I had...

Pros: One of the best cruises I ever taken
Cons: none

I am a travel agent and went on the last cruise in the USA this spring before it returned to Europe. I had been on quite a few cruise and this was the best one other than the Dawn Princes in Alaska. The food was great our waiter always had 2 drinks for...

Pros: food
Cons: crowds

Dear readers,
The Costa VIctoria is overall a great ship. It is comfortable , stylish but there are some major flaws. There is no drinking allowed for all people under twenty one. This severly limits the amount of fun teenagers ccan have on...

Pros: The staff, they were all wonderful
Cons: 7 days were not enough!

This was our first Cruise and now I am hooked!!! For the money we could never have such a great vacation without this Cruise Line. We traveled from Rome, all over the Greek Isles and even Turkey. We met so many wonderful people, would love to be able to travel on this ship again very soon!
