Hi guys! Thank you so much for making an in-depth video. My husband and I are researching cruises for Spring 2025 and came across Costa Smeralda, but were debating since I worked for Costa (pre-Concordia sinkage) when the line wasn't particularly nice. Seems they've upped their game considerably since.
I don’t like cruises and I will never go cruising but your reviews are fun to watch 😅 my question is why you always go on the route cruising instead of trying new routes?
Gents, I sailed on Costa Toscana out of Dubai in February, I dont think I saw a single crew member wearing a mask 😷 it was so nice to see everyone’s smiles and forget that C0vid ever happened😝 I notice a number of crew in the Smeralda wearing masks? I wonder why?… Maybe the crew from hot climates are nervous about the cooler European winters?
Hello, I was glad to meet you during my cruise on the Smeralda. And just so you know, I'm still waiting for Princess cruise to reply to my email. Regards, Patrice
Sadly there were 2 of us and l ordered morning coffee at the Bar. The server gave me ONE coffee continuing his conversation with his partner and not looking at me or acknowledging me. He left my coffee and went on to serve someone else. My dream was to sit and have morning coffee together with my companion, which we don't get a chance to do at home. Whilst waiting for the second cup and the first one getting colder and colder another guest was screaming: "You've got yours it's MY turn!" VERY DISAPPOINTING service indeed. Not an Italian guy they were asian. Aside from this l didn't let it upset my cruise which l enjoyed.
Super excited to see this, I will be on the Smeralda in May.
Fantastic! Let us know how your cruise go!
Me too
@@robertdespirito8891 we're going on the 19th, you same?
@@TravelAddictsLife We've actually been binge watching all your videos. We are going to be in Europe for a month. 😘

Thanks both 😊 Been debating the Costa Smeraldaor MSC Euribia for Dubai March 2025, and i think this video may have swayed me!
Thank you 🙏 let us know how your cruise goes 😀

Hello, thanks for providing info, I'd like to ask whether the Internet is fast and good enough for 1 hour video meetings. Thanks.
Hello there we are on board the Costa Deliziosa right now and the internet is perfect fast enough for video chat or watch movies
Question: How is it cruising this line in Oct or Nov? Is it cold?
It could be a bit cold but when the sun comes out is nice

Thank you 🙏🏻 we did try several routes and we love them all

Thank you for your comment 🙏 some waiter did wear masks for a couple of days in between cruises we don’t know why
