Caramelo 65 veo que has hecho el crucero de emiratos arabes. ¿Que ta está? Cada año hacemos 2 ó 3 cruceros y uno transatlantico y és uno de los pocos que me quedan por hacer con Costa. Este y el sellsellls.
El costa clasica ya lo conozco me interesa más si vale la pena ya que és el doble que el costa allegra.
Como está el servicio, comida buenpo todo lo que nos ha fallado en este último y que se puede ver. A mí las excursiones del barco no las suelo hacer porque creo son caras y tomadura de pelo. Por favor informame de todo y si podemos hacerlo solos.[][]

Geomac as I promised, we have just returned from the cruise on the Costa Allegra, the itinery is perfect for seeing different places of interest in Asia, the cities you visit are great, the shopping is extremely cheap so you do not have to take all the clothes with you cos it's cheap to buy.
The currency onboard is Euro, US Dollars are the ideal thing to take with you as this is the currency accepted at every port of call and enabled us to get taxis as we came of the ship (be carefull they will all try to rip you off make sure you know the exchange value against local currency, most of the cities are only a short drive or walk from the dock).
The ship! our room was a good size, clean and comfortable, the food onboard was good, the facilities (small dip pool) and entertainment onboard was rubbish. The cost onboard is very expensive with 15% added to every expensive drink you have (we did not have to pay the stated gratuities amount per person per day they have cancelled this), the trips from the ship were rubbish and very costly so do try to organise your own with a taxi driver at each port (bear in mind what I say about exchange rates above), there are hidden costs for Visa's at some ports and you will have no option than to pay Costa for these.
A few people we met onboard had rooms at the back of the ship, all floors and thier rooms vibrated terribly when the ship was leaving and arriving in port (we had room 4302 mid ship - no problems) so much so they thought their rooms were caving in, only one couple we heard off got moved after much/many complaints and lack of sleep!!
Costa is Italian and they are not much for the english, language onboard is translated into apprx 7 or 8 languages which becomes tiresome.
Overall we enjoyed it, great ports of call, would we go with Costa (never on the Allegra again ) would consider other ship if they offering really cheap cruise otherwise there is better.
Cheers enjoy.

Hello anyone reading the Costa Packet thread, I mean Costa Allegra sorry. We took the early June departure round the far east and I have too agree with the USVIRGINS, the itinerary was fantastic, especially Vietnam. The ship on the other hand was a complete nightmare. Worst restaurant service Ive had anywhere in the world. Mc Donalds could do better. Food was adequate, when it turned up and had been sent back for re-heating. Facilities were a joke, you could buy 5000 Euro watches on board but not sun cream any other daily product. If you werent Italian you were second class especially at reception. Excursions were poor and a huge rip off, all available much cheaper and better on the dock side. Incredibly expensive to drink on board, half pint bottle of beer 4 Euros 85cents a throw including a 15% "lack of service charge" Added extras at every turn, despite the brochure saying "Includes all port taxes.." etc they charge extra for "Landing Visas" at many ports, again in the brochure when you do your per departure reseach, it tells you that you dont need any, well it doesnt say you do because you could probably get them cheaper before you went. IWhen I asked about this at reception it seemed the German lady had forgotten how to speak english and the only other guy only spoke Italian, great help. In Sanya there were 3 different visa prices, depending on wether you were going on a costa excursion, about 5 Euro, a costa shuttle, about 15 Euro, or on your own about 30 Euro! On the dock side there was usually a shuttle bus which was provided free by the port, I confirmed this with the official on the dock at Ho Chi Minh City by the way, but Costa were charging 5 Euros a ticket for the bus.
I could bang on for a while but in summary I would say go to the Far East its brilliant. Dont ever go near a Costa Cruise, I wouldnt go again at gun point! Sorry if anyone has booked with them and not been yet, I hope my experience was a one off and you have a better time, please let me know if you do!
