Three cheers for Costa

This was our first Costa cruise so we boarded the Costa Allegra in Singapore with open minds. Although the ship started life as a cargo ship, it certainly has no feeling of being anything other than a good cruise ship. We generally book inside cabins and go for the lowest fares so were amazed that this was probably the largest cabin we'd ever had; it was more spacious than our cabin on the P&O Ventura last year.

Evening entertainment was a bit mixed but there were a few really good shows during the two weeks. Food was fine in terms of quantity and variety; the prime rib of beef was superb, we both like it rare and it arrived rare and tender. We did order this quite a few times!

Finding shade on deck can be a problem as there are limited spots to escape the sun. This was quite a challenge when the temperatures were in the lower to mid 30s. Some additional form of canopies over parts of the open decks wouldn't seem too hard to construct.
