Just to be anal - Costa is owned by Carnival Corp, a mostly American company (there’s a portion of the legal structure that is British, but that’s mostly a technically.)
But yes, onboard account is settled in euros.
That's a bummer. I probably wouldn’t have ordered the package; I just love the word brindiamo. “A toast.” And one of the most famous opera songs of all time. I start humming whenever I see the word brindiamo.
Be sure to factor airfare into your decision. I found a cruise that looked perfect out of Barbados… only to have it price out of my budget when I realized flights were twice the price of flying to San Juan and 3x the cost of flying to Florida.
I’m trying to figure out how a guy completes the one time at band camp story. I’m visioning the flute and…. We’ll let’s just put that thought aside. Have a great trip.
I can see loving Nassau. It’s obviously not a crowd favorite, but many great choices if you know what to look for. But Ensenada???? You gotta explain this one 🙂
This may sound crazy, but DCL can be a good option for people who don’t necessarily want to be around kids. They go out of their way to have kid free spaces and activities, and they enforce the rules.
I’m a big Disney fan. Own the timeshare to prove it. Had a great DCL cruise, but didn’t find it any more special than RCI and other mainstream lines. Certainly nothing that justifies the price difference.
Speaking just for myself, Meclizine works wonders keeping me from feeling seasick, even in the roughest of seas. I’d rather take medication and not have to worry, rather than trying to plan a cruise or pick a cabin hoping to minimize movement.
Sometimes you are just pissed off and want to complain. No, it probably won’t do any good. But when things aren’t right, you want to say (or write) something rather than just grin and take it.
