Costa Crash Again!

We all know cruising is normally one of the safest ways to travel. However guests of Costa Cruises may not be feeling so confident given recent events.

Some of you may remember back in April only weeks before the Cost Europa became the Island Escape the vessel crashed in Egypt killing two of its crew members.

A few days ago the Costa Classica collided with a cargo ship near Shanghi resulting in a 60 foot gash on the starboard side and the ship having to head back to port.

A spokesman for Costa added “Costa is very regretful that this incident has occurred and is working closely with Marine Safety Administration of Shanghai to fully investigate this matter”

Due to the damages to the ship Costa had to cancel the 18th October departure and we are waiting to see if any other departures will be affected.

Are safety standards slipping with Costa and would you think twice before boarding?
