Costa Atlantica Cruises Review
Costa Atlantica Cruises 4 Star Rating: Cheapism Good Pick
Summary:
Costa's Atlantica ship offers seven-night cruises out of Ft. Lauderdale around the Caribbean. Passengers praise the bright, spacious cabins, quality dining, variety of activities (including kid-specific), and European flair. Passenger capacity: 2,680

Costa Cruises, an Italian cruise line, is usually a little pricey for bargain cruise customers, but this one ship that departs out of Ft. Lauderdale, FL is within reach. The Costa Atlantica ship offers seven-night cruises around the Caribbean for less than $50/person/night. For that price you get a lot of European charm with bright, elegant and spacious cabins, quality dining, and a variety of activities (including kid-specific), all features much appreciated by passengers who posted Costa Atlantica reviews on Cruisecritic.com.

Atlantica has twelve passenger decks, each named after movies directed by the famous Italian director, Federico Fellini. Other European touches include: Carrara marble, Murano-glass accents, in-laid mosaic tile, and a Venetian decor. Passenger capacity on this inexpensive cruise ship is 2,680. Costa Atlantica trips through the Atlantic include stops in the Virgin Islands, Puerto Rico, and the Bahamas.

In short, if you want the feel of a European vacation without the Euro price tag, Costa Atlantica could be right for you. To take the best advantage of Costa Atlantica's bargain cruises, check for last-minute deals on the cruise line's website (costacruise.com).
