Dubai Cruise- Costa Favolosa	3 of 6 people found this review informative

Reviewed By: Aldridge, Bishop's Stortford on 30th Dec 2011
Cruise Line: Costa Cruises	Times cruised before: 3-5
Cruise Ship: Costa Fortuna	Sailed: December, 2011
Destination: Dubai	Age: 46-55
Cabin: Balcony

The ship was very nice but with nearly 3800 passengers the central areas were very crowded. The cabin was quite spacious even with four in the cabin. The shows were very good and the staff were able to converse in up to 7 languages (messages are therefore very long!). Most of the locations had a free transfer to the port entrance except Dubai where you have to battle for a taxi. Dubai and Abu Dhabi are very interesting but the other locations are lacking. Muscat could have been nice but the port is over 5km from the city. The food is so-so not nearly as good as the american cruise liners and there is limited options for casual dinning in the evening. The ship is very italian orientated so if you like this you may enjoy the cruise.
