Description

The second ship in the "Concordia" class, it was built for Costa Cruises to serve in cold climates by having both decks covered.
The layout of all the public areas was completely revised compared to the "Conquest" class ships built for Carnival. The interior design of the Costa Serena, created by Joe Farcus, is inspired by Greco-Roman mythology.

Brutta esperienza

I liked

Escursioni, animazione, cabina

I didn't like

Cibo, struttura nave

Comment

Questa è stata la prima e unica crociera che ho fatto con Costa. Sin da subito mi sono trovata maluccio, per quanto riguarda il cibo molta varietà, ma di scarsa qualità. La pulizia non perfetta al 100%. Servizio bar buono, ma per chi non parla l’inglese un problema in quanto nessuno del personale lo capiva, infatti facevo sempre da traduttore al gruppo di amici. Animazione presente con qualche gioco o ballo durante la giornata. La struttura della nave non mi è piaciuta, non potevi fare un giro completo della nave ma dove risalire o scendere qualche piano e poi andare avanti. Invece mi sono trovata bene con le poche escursioni guidate che ho fatto, esempio Tunisi, ben organizzata! Con questa esperienza non consiglierei costa, ma è stata un’unica esperienza, quindi magari da riprovare, ma su una delle navi più nuove.

Crociera positiva, su itinerario straconosicuto, ma sempre piacevole nei mesi invernali. Servizio buono, esperienza positiva in tutto.

Panorami d'Oriente 2007

I liked

I didn't like

Comment

Costa Serena mi è piaciuta meno di altre navi della flotta coeve, forse per l'apparente minore attenzione agli arredi e all'eleganza. La crociera è stata comunque buona su un itinerario sempre molto piacevole anche se arcinoto.

Canarie e Madera con Serena

I liked

Nave nuovissima all'epoca, perfetta

I didn't like

Cabine interne molto piccole

Comment

Buona esperienza Costa alle Canarie su Costa Serena, nave perfetta e con un discreto servizio. La cabina interna è molto piccola anche se con ottimo servizio di pulizia. Nave piacevole, ben gestita anche se forse meno elegante di qualche sua gemella.
