I had just booked Costa Mediterranea Dec,29th to jan,5th 2007-8 balcony for $899.

Now kill me...

I just read on cruisecritics and found out there is 'toga' night! WOW!

Several years ago (maybe 10) we went on the Costa Romantica -- one of the reasons was because 3rd and 4th passengers were $88 each for a 7 day Caribbean cruise (my son ate more than $88 worth-- lol)

We really liked Costa. At that time, the food was good, entertainment was good and the toga night was lots of fun.

Where are you going?? You got a great deal -- especially over NYE! Enjoy!!

It is Carribean - Cazumel, Turk Iseland etc...7 days. I have a balcony! I was hoping it is a good deal and i think reading a lot about it - it is. It is about 30 of us going...nightmare!

I just did Costa Magica last week of February. Had a great time. You will have a great time.

I took a Panama Canal cruise this past March with 20 people. It was great. Everyone did their own thing, but no matter where I went I usually met up with someone. I thought it was going to be a nightmare, but cruising with lots of people was a blast.

Costa Romantica was the first cruise we ever took and have been hooked on cruising ever since. The ship itself was lovely and spotless. Our first impression was being escorted to our cabin by a white-gloved steward. That was a great start. We never returned to Costa but that was mostly because we wanted to try different lines and now favor RCCL but that is not to say that we would not go with them again. We found the service to be overall very good. Have a great trip.

Fedora,
It's been almost a month that you post, but I saw it just now. Where in the world you found that fare? I'm interested in that cruise & with that fare....Unbelievable. Please answer.
