Hi does anyone know if this ship set sail last saturday..23rd, and did it keep to the same itinery?

Passengers due to board Classica on the 23 were given 2 nights full board at a hotel in HK free of charge by Costa. The ship arrived on time yesterday morning as planned and she sailed last night. Itinerary has been slightly altered, Manila & Sanya dropped but otherwise everything went to plan.

Thanks for the info. I see you have sailed with Costa a few times...how do you rate them?

[Goldryder]

Personally I do not rate a cruise line since they are all different and have different attributes that cater for a variety of people.

 

I prefer Costa due to their exceptional value for solo cruisers...I pay 30% supplement (which against the industry norm of 150-250% is really a no brainer in the financial department), I enjoy the ambiance on the ships, the smaller/older ships are more of an Italian feel than the bigger Farcus fantasies IMO, the food, though subjective according to your taste, is to me just fine (when I am not making it, serving it or washing up after it I enjoy it)...above all they offer fantastic itineraries to places that are uncommercial at a realistic price.

 

They suit me down to the ground :)
