There was no self-funded upgrade for lunch and dinner this time. They all ate at the free restaurants originally arranged by Costa Cruises. The free restaurants included the Porromart buffet and two main restaurants. Let’s take a look at what delicious food each has. Is there some kind of landmine? But this time it may be because too many people canceled due to the shortened voyage. Costa Cruises did not allocate dining stages and times, so the rich family’s dining time is quite casual, and they go to eat when they are hungry (laughs) .
They mainly dine at three restaurants: Prometeo Self-Service Restaurant, Ceres Restaurant, and Vesta Restaurant.

Restaurant clothing etiquette
Basically, the rich man just wore a T-shirt + shorts + sneakers + a small side backpack and walked around the ship like this for 4 days. The rich man’s wife also dressed up similarly. I feel that there are no clothing restrictions for dining on the cruise. Everyone just wears comfortable clothes.
breakfast
Boro Mart Buffet
The entrance of the restaurant is on the 9th floor. The decoration style of the restaurant is relatively European style. After entering the restaurant, you can also take the stairs to the seating areas on other floors. It is a very large restaurant. There are about 6 dining areas, but the meals provided in each dining area are the same. The main purpose should be to disperse the crowds. After all, the restaurant is large and there are many people coming to dine.
Basically, in addition to water, there are milk and coffee in the beverage part, and ice cubes are provided to adjust the temperature by yourself.
A corner of the dining area.
There are quite a variety of bread types, and the donut series is pretty good and tastes quite thick.
A basic lettuce salad. Although there are not many types of lettuce salad, the rich man thinks it tastes quite fresh.
Some ham and cheese tasted salty to the rich man. The cooked food section has some staple foods such as fried noodles, fried rice, cream pasta, etc.
Various types of yogurt are available. The rich man’s wife thinks they are a bit too sweet, but she is considerate and specializes in low-fat yogurt.
To commemorate the last day of this Costa cruise, I took a photo of the breakfast to commemorate it, and then had some chocolate donuts. The rich man ate two. The donuts were relatively hard in taste, so they were okay. But today I have more orange juice and apple juice (laughs).
Sirius Restaurant
The entrance to the restaurant is on the third floor at the stern of the ship. The food is more of a general Western-style breakfast, with basic dishes such as bacon, scrambled eggs, potatoes, and hard-boiled eggs. The rich man thought that maybe because the restaurant was at the stern of the ship, it felt very wobbly when he was sitting and dining. The rich man and his family finished their breakfast in a hurry and left quickly for fear of seasickness.
Window seat with ocean view. This time, the dining seats in the main restaurant were arranged by Costa Cruises staff, and there was no requirement to select seats. Once I was lucky enough to be assigned a window seat. To be honest, the rich man said that dining by the window with sea view felt more special (laughing).
Some ham, cheese and lettuce salad.
The rich man thought the honey cake on the far left tasted good.
Milk and whole packs of Kellogg's corn flakes (original, chocolate), while the Polomart buffet has Kellogg's corn flakes in bulk. Various yogurts and fruits include watermelon and pineapple, and concentrated orange juice and apple juice are provided.
American scrambled eggsIt seems to be the only egg dish that the rich man saw on the Costa cruise. It is fried to a paste, but you still have to be careful. The egg taste is also average. Children still need to eat some eggs every day.

Lunch
Boro Mart Buffet
I continued to eat the leftover bread and lettuce salad from breakfast, just kidding (laughing).
The beef was cooked quite well, but a bit tough. The rich man ate a lot of fried rice noodles and braised tofu this time. But surprisingly, there are some leafy green vegetables to choose from.
The hot soups include kelp soup and pickled cabbage and rice noodle soup. They taste salty but not bad. There is also white porridge to go with it.
The rich man is very picky about his lunch (laughs).
Sirius Restaurant
I didn’t see any ingredients for the kelp soup or thick soup, but they tasted good (laughs).
Some cold cuts include chicken and braised pork.
The fried noodles and fried rice with distinct grains tasted good, but the steamed fish was a bit hard (old).
Lunch desserts include tiramisu and small cakes.
dinner
Boro Mart Buffet
Some basic sauces.
The dinner cold dishes section is a little more refined, and the mixed cheese salad and potato and pork salad performed well.
Pork chow mein, baked potato, spinach gratin. There is also freshly cut roast pork with rosemary, which has a tough taste.
The rich man thinks that the chocolate tiramisu is very good, and it’s a good thing that it comes from an Italian company.
White porridge and soup.
Vista Restaurant
The entrance to the restaurant is near the visitor center on the third floor. There will be various actual meals for tonight on display at the entrance of the restaurant, which is very thoughtful. There are about 15 dishes to choose from, including appetizers, main meals, desserts, and side dishes, which is quite rich.
Pan-fried steak and gratinlobster, the steaks tasted pretty good and quite tender. I ordered the steak twice. The first time it was good, about 7 minutes rare, and the second time, it was about 5 minutes rare and a bit undercooked. The baked lobster had a little too much cheese, and the rich man found it a bit greasy. The rich man saw that almost every table had lobster, which should be the meal with the highest CP value.
dinner menu, if you are not full after the first round, you can add more. When the rich man wants to add more, the service staff said that he can scan the QR code on the table to view the menu. It turns out that he can view it through the free wireless network of Costa Cruises. It was too late to find out the menus of various restaurants.
The last dinner on the Costa Cruise was extremely delicious today. The dishes that the rich man tried included grilled chicken kebabs, spicy spaghetti, Singapore fried noodles (actually stir-fried rice noodles), oyster sauce mushroom stewed chicken, fried fish steak, and caramel pudding. They all tasted pretty good. The rich man thought they were the best for this cruise. The most delicious and sumptuous meal of the trip, it’s also a perfect ending. Woo~ I have to go home to work tomorrow.
Another special feature of Vista Restaurant is that the service staff will give a singing and dancing performance for about 10 minutes. The performance is very lively. The rich man also saw the most popular Korean Gangnam Uncle horseback riding dance a few years ago. The whole performance was super high. , and also carefully prepared the encore, thank you so much for your hard work, you are great, thank you for your hard work.
Scotch Club Kids Meal
If you plan to send your children to the SQUOK Club, you can refer to the menu below to find out what good food your children will eat throughout the day.
Own restaurant
This time the rich man was very frugal and didn't eat at restaurants that required his own expenses, purely for sharing.
Casanova Italian Restaurant
The Italian restaurant on the 11th floor was taken after 4:00 pm. No one was seen in the dining area, and the chefs should be preparing dinner.
Luna Salon Lounge
This was taken when I passed by at around 4pm. There might not be anyone there until night. The location is near the casino on the 5th floor, towards the stern of the ship.
other menu
Some PUMMID'ORO pizzerias share the Costa Sushi menu.
drink package
At first glance, the wine package seems to be a good deal, because the a la carte prices on the menu are really expensive. But please note that if you want to purchase a set meal, each set meal must be purchased according to the "total number of nights of the voyage" and "all persons in the same room must purchase the same set meal (even children)". The concept is similar to that of an all-you-can-eat BBQ restaurant. Similarly, it is quite reasonable for people at the same table to order at the same price. This means that if calculated based on the original 4 days and 3 nights itinerary, the cost of purchasing My Drinks Plus "per adult" is 49 X 3 = 147 USD. If one room accommodates 2 people, the total cost will be 147 X 2 = 354 USD, which is not cheap for rich people. But since you buy it, you can drink as much as you want, so don’t forget to bring a drink before watching the show. correct! The rich man has seen a 20-cup or 40-cup non-alcoholic plan on the menu. This cup counting method can be shared with everyone, and you can measure which plan is more cost-effective.
More examples: If there are 2 adults and 2 children under 18 years old in a room, the total price will be 147 + 147 + 75 + 75 = 504 USD, which makes it very expensive for rich people.
| 1 adult | 1 child (18 years old = adult) | 1 child (under the age of 18) | |
| Night 1 8/5 – 8/6 | 49 | 49 | 25 |
| Night 2 8/6 – 8/7 | 49 | 49 | 25 |
| Night 3 8/7 – 8/8 | 49 | 49 | 25 |
| total price | 147 | 147 | 75 |
For more wine menus, the rich man is not sure whether they are included in the packages introduced above. When dining in a restaurant, the service staff will also sell alcoholic beverages. Remember to confirm whether they are included in the set meal before ordering to avoid misunderstandings.
The mineral water package is US$42.99 (USD), the 20-cup non-alcoholic beverage package is US$77.99, the 40-cup non-alcoholic beverage package is US$129.98, and the 20-cup beer package is US$93.15. It is another option for those who like to drink. Select.
rich man experience
Due to the impact of Typhoon Kanu, the number of passengers on the cruise ship was only 1/2 of the original number, which is different from the full ship. This is for reference only.
In fact, the three restaurants that the rich man ate at this time are all very large, and each restaurant has three floors, so it does not feel crowded when dining. Except for breakfast on the last day, the restaurants are not full during other meal times, which may also be due to the This is related to the fact that the number of tourists on this cruise is much smaller.
The rich man thinks that the service staff are quite good. Although they show impatience sometimes, they are quite kind to the children. They have saved the little rich man's soup several times and their basic needs are taken care of. It's not bad. The restaurant has service staff who can speak Chinese, so there is no problem in communication.
Friends who like pasta on Costa Cruises can also buy olive oil, pasta and other products in restaurants, sales and other places. After getting off the Costa Cruises, you can cook them yourself and savor them when you go home (laughs).
some reminders
The meals at the Boromart buffet are basically of an ordinary level and can fill your stomach without any problem. The meals include about 10 kinds of bread, 10 cold dishes of lettuce, 10 hot dishes, 2-3 kinds of hot soup, 2-3 1 dessert, 2-3 fixed fruits. It is not as good as the buffets in general restaurants in Taiwan, so the rich man thinks not to expect too much. It may be related to the small number of people. The ship card was not scanned when eating, but the room number needs to be reported. There is no specific time limit for meals.
There are several dining areas in the Boromart buffet, but in fact they just place the same meals in different areas to disperse the crowds. Just find an area with less crowds to queue up to pick up your meals. Although there were much fewer people on the cruise this time, when picking up meals, it was stillneed to queueIt takes about 10 minutes. When there are many people, the queue will be longer. Friends who don’t want to stand in line should choose a theme restaurant.
If you are not full at a la carte restaurants such as Ceres Restaurant and Vista Restaurant, you can order another round. The food will be served in about 15 minutes after ordering, which is quite fast. You can ask the service staff for more coffee. You can scan the QR Code on the dining table to learn about the meals provided by each restaurant through the free WIFI on the cruise ship, as well as optional items, such as the various red and white wines provided.
