Costa Magica Cruise ReviewPage 10
Is a Costa cruise right for you?
But seriously...No cruise line is right for everyone, and Costa is best suited to travelers who welcome the chance to cruise with all age groups and different nationalities. On a popular English-language cruise forum, we saw a complaint by an American who was furious because Costa's restaurant didn't offer "surf and turf" (lobster and steak, served on the same platter). Another former passenger was unhappy because announcements over the PA system were in five or six languages, not just in English. Amazingly enough, some non-European passengers complain about not being hustled by bar staff. (Continental bar and café customers prefer not to be nagged into buying refills, so Costa's bartenders and bar waiters tend to be less aggressive than their counterparts on some American and British lines.) Still, we like to think that xenophobia and chronic cluelessness aren't endemic among our fellow Anglophones. We met a number of native English speakers on Costa Magica, and they all seemed happy with the ship and the cruise.
