Costa Cruises: Costa Magica

Review covers: Costa Fortuna, Costa Magica

Accommodations

Layout: Cabins on Costa Fortuna and Costa Magica generally follow the outline of their Carnival counterparts, with the notable addition of a Grand Suite category. More than 60% of accommodations have an ocean view and, of those, 60% have balconies. Balconies have chairs and tables, and dividers can be unlocked to connect some cabins. Every cabin has adequate closet and drawer-shelf storage, as well as bathroom shelves. Suites have a generous walk-in closet.

Amenities: Light-wood cabinetry, soft pastel decor, mirrored accents, Murano glass lighting fixtures, a small refrigerator, a personal safe, a hair dryer, and a sitting area with a sofa, chair, and table are typical for ocean-view cabins and suites. Inside cabins have ample room, but sitting areas consist only of a small table and chairs.

Bathrooms: Bathroom extras include shampoo and bath gel in shower-mounted dispensers. Additional features in the suites on Costa Magica include a whirlpool tub and double sink. Suite passengers also enjoy an enhanced room-service menu.

Worth Noting: Well-designed lifeboat placement ensures unobstructed sea views from all outside cabin windows. Eight staterooms are designed for wheelchair accessibility.
