The indoor swimming pool is nice.
The Concorde plaza, and Orpheus loungeare nice.
The entertainment is fun, and don'tmiss the Roman toga night!
However the food & service werelacking for my tastes.
And there really was too much smokein the dining rooms and the theatreand in the elevators for me.
The anouncements are made in about 6different languages.
It is fun to meet people from all overthe world.
Hope you have a great time, these werejust my observations.
Have you cruised before with any otherline?
Good sailing...lauri
The best food I've had was onCelebrity's Century & the Sea Princess.
However, I had a lot of fun on theCosta Victoria because of the goodvariety of music and the cruisedirector Nick Wier is funny and talented.They have a lot of inter-activeshows where they bring the audience inon it, and it is fun if you have asense of humor about yuorself.
They do many fun things duringdinner, don't be suprised if youwind up in a conga line before youhave your desert!
But, I will not cruise with them againbecause of the poor quality of foodand service.
If they could get that end of it rightI would do it again.
Part of the problem I saw was so muchof the staff could not converse inEnglish, or any other language thantheir own.
Do go dancing in the concorde plaza,that was one of my favorite placesfor music and dancing.
They do cater to europeans, who loveto smoke everywhere, don't get mewrong, that is not meant to be aprejudice on my part, I loved meetingeveryone and speaking in differentlanguages, just don't like smoke inthe elevators and dining rooms.
The ship is not as flashy as some.I have not done Carnival.My sailings have been on Princess,Celebrity, RCI, and HAL.
Everyone has a different opinion,and I hope I told my positive &negative thoughts without upsettingyou.
I know you will have a good timeeven if you don't care for some things.
Go to the Roman toga night in your toga, most people wear them, sendsomeone to the lions...you will loveit!
Good sailing...Lauri
