Costa Romantica
Reviewed By: Pearce, Northampton on 12th Feb 2008
Cruise Line: Costa Cruises	Times cruised before: 3-5
Cruise Ship: Costa Romantica	Sailed: January, 2008
Destination: Dubai	Age: 56-65

Having just completed a cruise on the Costa Romantica from Dubai to Muscat, Fujairah, Abu Dhabi, Bahrain and back to Dubai I would seriously have to consider whether I would venture on to a Costa ship again. Although the ship was clean and the service staff friendly and considerate, the overall management needs to be re-focused as the day to day management of the ship was not up to standard The self service restaurant has plastic tables, plastic plates and plastic glasses coupled with cold food,. hence the ship should be called Costa Plastica. I also found the ship to be extremely noisy due to the din created by staff extending the access ramps whilst in port coupled with the noise generated by the engines whilst at sea. Costa Romantica should be avoided. Cliff Northampton
