After taking over 50 cruises, I can honestly say this cruise had differences we weren't prepared for! We just returned from our first Costa cruise, and this experience felt different from any other vacation I have taken. In my opinion, there's no such thing as a bad cruise. However, no cruise ship or cruise line is for everyone. In this video I share my honest cruise review of Costa Toscana, including the pros & cons of this cruise. When I prepared for this Mediterranean cruise, I read lots of cruise reviews, watched cruise vlogs to know as much as I could about Costa Toscana. I went into this 7 day Mediterranean journey with an open mind, but there were several things about the boarding procedures and onboard dining that I was not fully prepared for. Whether you are a first-time cruiser or a frequent traveler, this Costa cruise experience offers a unique perspective on what to expect. While I had read various opinions online, seeing the ship docked at port and experiencing the atmosphere firsthand provided a much clearer picture of the brand. I am breaking down the pros and cons to help you plan your own cruise travel with confidence. We go over the cruise food & dining, cabin, entertainment & more! If you are considering a European cruise or sailing with Carnival's Italian cruise line, this video is full of helpful cruise tips. In this video I also share what is included & extra on Costa Cruise line. 🛳 THE ULTIMATE CRUISE PLANNER 🛳 Get the Life Well Cruised ULTIMATE CRUISE PLANNER ($10 off for a limited time).
