Just booked . . . a verandah stateroom for a spring break cruise in 2008 on the Costa Fortuna . . . visiting the islands of Turks and Caicos, St. Maarten, Tortola BVI and Puerto Rico . . . I have never cruised on the Costa line but it is rated 4.5 stars as is Princess . . . I will provide you with all the details in future posts as to how it measures up with Princess, Norwegian and Carnival cruise lines . . . as I have first hand experience on all those cruise lines . . .
