Costa Cruises: Costa Mediterranea

Accommodations

Layout: Costa Mediterranea cabins generally follow the outline of their Carnival counterparts, with the distinctive addition of a Grand Suite category. Nearly 80% of the suites and staterooms have an ocean view, and of those, more than 80% have balconies. Every cabin has adequate closet and drawer-shelf storage, as well as bathroom shelves; suites have a walk-in closet.

Amenities: Light-wood cabinetry, pastel decor, Murano glass lighting fixtures, mirrored accents, a small refrigerator, a personal safe, a hair dryer, and a sitting area with sofa, chair, and table are typical for ocean-view cabins and suites. Inside cabins have somewhat smaller sitting areas for lounging. Suites have VCRs.

Bathroom: Extras include shampoo and bath gel in shower-mounted dispensers. Suites have a whirlpool bathtub.

Worth Noting: Although connecting staterooms are somewhat scarce throughout the ships, balcony dividers can be unlocked to provide connecting access in upper-category staterooms. Eight staterooms are designed for wheelchair accessibility.
