My boyfriend and I just got back yesterday from our cruise. I cannot say enough about it. The embarkation was so easy, we got to the port around noon and we didn't stand in line long about 10 to 15 minutes. When we entered the ship "Oh, my God!!!" It is beatiful.
The food at the Boticelli Buffet and on the pool decks could be better but overall it was decent. The Tiziani Restaurant is gorgeous. The food is delicious. The pools are not overcrowded, there was always availability.
Costa Atlantica has a group of about 8 crew members who are also part of the quizzes and the entertainment. I would like to say thanks to Rosario for all the laughs. There was also Rachel and Sara our General Quiz expert. They are so funny and are very involved in making the guests feel comfortable.
The cabin was spacious, neat, and you get a mini bar! The drinks are good, casino is fun, shows are ok. The guest talent show was a interesting. Toga night would have been better if more guests got involved.
They have plenty of tours; we suggest you do the Catamaran at Catalina Island. You go snorkeling and then they have an open bar. We danced, we drank, and we snorkeled.
They had Italian Night and they have arts and crafts and games (Mister Pizza for example).
We had a ball and we will definitely go on this cruise again. Highly recommend it. Carnival can definitely learn about customer service from the Italians.
