Costa Atlantica Cruise Ship

My day on the Costa Atlantica Cruise Ship

Thanks to my good friend Maria, who is a self-employed travel agent working from home, I was invited to spend a day with her onboard the Costa Atlantica cruise ship.
She is invited along to these days to get an idea of the kind of things they have on offer, luckily for me there was a three course meal thrown in!

We arrived at the Dover Cruise Terminal at around 9.30; we were taken through passport control and onto the ship. First stop was complimentary tea, coffee and freshly baked pastries…delicious.
We were then introduced to Simon, the onboard English speaking guide. He took us on a tour round the ship, all 10 decks! It is a pretty amazing sight, lots of colours, paintings, glass stairs, gym, saunas, running tracks and lots more. I was wearing new shoes (not realising how far we would have to walk!) and was having trouble walking, in the end I took them off and went barefoot, what a relief.
We saw swimming pools, glass lifts, discos, shops it was a fabulous over the top design, lots of Murano glass from Venice. I then had to sit through an hour presentation about the ship, staff, turnover and so on, a small price to pay for a free lunch!
Next we were off to one of the many onboard restaurants where we were treated to a fabulous lunch; I had tuna steak, poached pears and a few other yummy dishes. The service was faultless.

All in all I had a lovely day, like having a mini holiday squashed into a few hours, I’ve told Maria to put me at the top of the list next time!
