Each ship carries its own resident troupe of singers/dancers and audio-visual support staff, but Costa Cruises is not known for the quality of its entertainment. What it does present tends to be of the “no finesse” variety, with revue-style shows that have little story line, poor choreography and execution, but plenty of fast-moving action – more stepping in place than dancing – and lots of volume. It’s entertainment to pass the time rather than remember.
Cabaret acts (typically singers, magicians, comedy jugglers, ventriloquists, and so on) are entertaining but rather ho-hum. Most passenger participation activities include poolside games such as a “Belly Flop” competition, election of the “Ideal Couple,” and other juvenile games – but some families love them. There are also dance classes, and the inevitable “Fine Art Auction.”
