Wonderful improvement in the middle east

I liked

Great new ship in the perfect styling for Costa , wonderful new style restaurants and bars plenty room for privacy

I didn't like

Bit more interaction by officers and the costa club events to be reinstated as they used to be

Cruise number 57 Costa Cruises – Costa Firenze 11th March to 18th March 2022 Cabin number: 7235 - Mid ship , Deck -7 : Suite Total pax : 4500 , Crew : 1278 : Decks : 18 Cruise for 7 nights . Proposed route booked . Dubai / Dubai / Abu Dhabi / Doha / At Sea / Muscat / Dubai Actual route taken due to covid restrictions in Qatar. Dubai / Dubai / Abu Dhabi / At sea / Muscat / Dubai / Dubai. This being our second cruise on Costa Firenze in under 6 months , I was very pleased to see the amazing improvement in productions , cruise director ( Luigi Cougei) and overall service levels across the ship. Having dinner in the Elite restaurant was again a pleasure with amazing service levels by Matre D Sapna , Merlin and servers. All excursions where well handled and on time , it was a wonderful trip seeing the cruise ship operate in a totally different market outside of Europe , Overall a very much improved product, which delivers with the right Cruise Director ( Luigi)
