  • Let's go all the way back to July 2022, which is when I took one of my absolute favourite cruises ever. I cruised on Discovery Princess from Alaska with two of my friends - one of whom was Laura. Let's kick off this BRAND NEW vlog series, and this one's a big one! Welcome onboard Costa Toscana (the new flagship cruise ship from Costa Cruises), for a week of fun with my friend Laura and I. We've previously cruised together TWICE, and it's now time to board Toscana!
    If you enjoy this video, then remember to join us in Episode 2, where we'll be exploring the Sardinian beaches!
    Sardinia's BEST beach?! // Costa Toscana - Episode 2 • Sardinia's BEST beach?...
    In this episode, we board the cruise ship down at Barcelona cruise port, explore both of our cabins, before offering you some top tips if you're looking at booking your own Costa cruise.
    Across this series, we'll be exploring various ports across Spain, Italy and France, so be sure to click 'subscribe' and come along with us - we can't wait to get out there and show you everything we're experiencing!

    Great video. Love the Costa stateroom layout, especially the bathroom. Tile floors? Nice! I may have to add Costa to our list for European cruises!

    Fun to have Laura back! Oh my gosh, I thought the frosted shower wall was opaque! Could see quite well through it! 😲🤣 The fruit bowl still makes me laugh! 🤣
    Thanks for this one. Looking forward to more with you 2!

      Actually the fruit bowl was where they'd put snacks (Pringles, Kinder Bueno) before 2020. Two weeks ago on Diadema they were back :)

    Great to see the differences between the cabins.

    • @FraserAtSea
      @FraserAtSea  Před 8 měsíci +1

      Funny how they’re so different but on the same corridor! Thanks for watching, guys!

    Nice video! Yeah the makeup station is only available in the ocean view cabins and the longer balcony cabins in the middle section of the ship.
    What is great with your configuration Fraser (bed, then sofa) is actually the desk that is indeed wayyy bigger which is handy when you need to get some work done (the one in the other configuration is I think too small)
    That's what "strange" on this ship... You can book the same cabin and not have exactly the same amenities. If I book one of the two cabins directly next to yours, the desk will be small, if I book in the middle section of the ship, the cabin is bigger and I have a makeup station, but even here, there's a 50% chance the desk is gonna be small 😆

    • @FraserAtSea
      @FraserAtSea  Před 8 měsíci +1

      You know, this is exactly what we found! We got access to another couple of cabins (room tours coming soon 😂), and it proved exactly what you’re saying - even the basic amenities eg the DESK were different!
      Thanks so much for this comment - good for thought, for sure!
