Just booked a 14 night costa cruise for £399 a person. Going on 2nd November and includes 3 night stay room only in Venice first followed by an 11 night cruise. Have gone with Costa before and it is excellent value for money

Best to make sure you can swim if you're planning to go with Costa. And check whether the Captain's already in a lifeboat........

That made me laugh!
Nowadays they have the lifeboat built into the flight deck on the bridge, bit like James Bond they just flick a button and the whole crews away ..:stuck_out_tongue:

If you have just booked, you will know how much they charge for luggage. Cruise Nation are notorious for unavoidable extras and routinely charge £75 to £100 per suitcase.
Please let people know the extra costs you've had to pay.

Are you expected to go away in the clothes your standing in, if they are charging that I would boycott for definite!

luggage was standard airline prices when we booked and went in summer! there was a £50 booking fee if i recall which still made our deal £650 each for a balcony cabin with cunard 3 nights in Rome and flights v £1300 each direct with Cunard just for the cruise! Have you actually booked with them????? People on our cruise were repeat guests some had paid £299 for Costa deals and didnt expect it to be legit but it was!

Bit chilly this time of year but still excellent value for money - worth it for the stay in Venice alone!

Its a good price but there is nothing more miserable than a wet and cold cruise where you cannot enjoy the decks or the ports of call.

Haha. Well it's a good point, though I think on this occasion this trip doesn't have flights included, so a mute point. However I expect flights only a few weeks away won't be cheep.
OP can you clarify the details of how you are getting to Venice inc cost of flights and luggage?

Costa is the Butlins of the Sea. The entire brand was set up to make money off people that want a cruise experience but can't afford normally afford it.
