Review of Costa Favolosa

Launched in 2011, Costa Favolosa is the fourth Concordia-class Costa ship, together with the sunk Costa Concordia, Costa Pacifica, Costa Serena, and Costa Fascinosa.

History - construction and ownership

Costa Cruises is a Genoa-headquartered subsidiary company owned by Carnival Corporation. Costa is Europe's second largest cruise line (after MSC) with year-round operations in the Mediterranean. Costa was founded in 1854 as a cargo shipping company. It started passenger shipping services in 1947, with regular Transatlantic crossings between Europe (Italy) and South America. In 2000, Costa Cruises was acquired by Carnival Corporation (shipowner).

Costa Favolosa cruise ship

The 113,216-ton, 3,780-passenger cruise ship Costa Favolosa features all of the now-signature Concordia-class elements, like the Asian-themed Samsara Spa, a swimming pool space with a huge movie screen and sliding glass roof and a Grand Prix driving simulator. Favolosa also offers a handful of new options not found on its older sister vessels. These include 6 new apartments with private verandahs and Jacuzzis; a new place for teenagers with a 4D cinema, ice cream bar, and dance floor; and a new outdoor Aqua Park with a pirate galleon.

Besides the ship's staff and crew, Costa cruise passengers are also served by Peper robots - the latest cyborg technology implemented fleetwide in 2016. These humanoid robots greet and guide passengers upon embarkation. They also assist them throughout the cruise by providing information and tips on onboard dining, entertainment, enrichment program (workshops, pre-scheduled events), casino and shopping promotions, shore excursions and tours. Pepper robots are mobile and communicate in 3 languages (English, German, Italian). They can also interpret human emotions by analyzing voice tones and facial expressions.

Cruise itinerary program

Costa Favolosa itinerary program is based on Central and Western Mediterranean cruises. In the late fall, Favolosa crosses the Atlantic and sails to South America.

Cabins

Costa Favolosa has a total number of 1508 cabins (of which 56 Suite, 594 Balcony, 579 Inside rooms) in 14 grades. Most Costa Favolosa staterooms are 185-sq. foot Balcony rooms - nearly 40% of all staterooms have a private balcony. 28 are the wheelchair accessible cabins, 103 - the Spa Staterooms, 11 - the single cabins.
