The Other Italian Cruise Line - Costa Magica 3/19

We also sailed on the COSTA RIVERIA and like it a lot,the pasta was
excellent

(.a cruise lover.)

Hey Jean! I figure why not! I'll give it a whirl and see what happens!
It can't be that bad...I'll have a balcony, it will be sunny (we hope)
and I'll be sailing on the ocean. Everything else is gravy on top as
far as I'm concerned!

You have to be careful about throwing around that "go with an open mind"
line! Could get into trouble here lol! Maybe if I'm super
ambitious....I'll get around to writing reviews for my Alaska sailing
last August and MSC in December and "get all caught up" before I take
off on the Magica.

LOL! Jeff, I guess you are the adventurous type like me!!! Someday I may
just try Costa to see how it is for myself!
Knowing your outlook, you will make lemonade out of any lemons coming your
way!
Dare I say, *Go with an open mind?* ;-D
Go, have a ball and don't forget to post a review this time!

Thanks for posting that!!! Look forward to it definitely!

Hearing of the others misfortunes, the wife and I were on the Magica last
year, did the Eastern for the first time, and found the food good, although
our waiter left a bit to be desired, and we did the Atlantica in 2002, and
enjoyed that one as well, in fact I think the food was great on both, but
the Atlantica had much better service.
Our friends just came back from the Magica, was the week after the Irish
lass fell off the balcony, and they mentioned that the ship seemed to be
even better than last year, food was great, service was better, but they did
mention the signs posted all over about underaged drinking bein forbidden.
I would not hesitate to sail on Costa again, but maybe my standards aren't
as high as others, if you wish to see some pics I have a few up here

Pasta can be deadly lol!!! Ok, maybe I'll have a little taste here and
there....

Way to go, Jeff!
You may come back saying it was the best cruise ever or you may come back
saying, never again..but how will you know if you don't try it?. I like your
sense of adventure! A balcony in the sun, being on the ocean and the
suspense of what is ahead! Can't wait to read your review on it...but first
get those on Alaska and the Lirica out for us! I'd like to read how the
Lirica compares to the Opera.

LOL!.."Going with an open mind" is just that...better than going with a
closed mind and not enjoying anything!

Hello all....have truly enjoyed reading everyone's comments about the
GGC and the MOAGCs!!! Becca...welcome back to Celebrity lol!

Jeff, I try to keep an open mind when I am cruising, and I was hoping I
would enjoy the Infinity, and I did. If Celebrity had open seating,
they could easily become my favorite cruise line. I still like the
fresh water swimming pools on Princess and I like their buffets at night.

The MOAGC3 should be a fun cruise. I told my sons to call George and
book a cabin, since they are young, they will enjoy all of the
activities on the ship, you know, the ones that I am too old for. LOL
Who knows, maybe I will try to surf! http://freedomoftheseas.com/

I can't wait to see what the pricing is for the MOAGC3!! I am so
torn, I love the hot tubs they have, but am a little concerned about
the size of the ship. As far as surfing goes, I will be with the
others in the row of chairs, watch those who do the surfing.LOL

I hope that the prices come out very soon!

The surfing thing does look interesting....a saw it on a RCCL commercial
during the Olympic coverage and I thought....what is that!!!??? I could
see doing that. Toss off the rock climbing wall and bring on the
surfing! Now if they could get that puppy up to a good speed then we
could water ski off the back of the ship too!!
