Travelers who want a lively, Italian-style ship at a lower price than U.S. lines.
Think twice if: Guests come from many countries, so expect multilingual announcements and a European crowd; check Costa's site for which restaurants cost extra.

What she's like
Lots of choice on board. Expect some lines at the buffet and to get off in busy ports. About 33 tons of ship per guest. As a rule of thumb, 40 or more feels roomy and under 30 feels busy.
Unknown from line's site.
Our judgment, from $ (budget) to $$$$$ (ultra-luxury).
Not published. Assume drinks, tips and wifi cost extra.
