While we have some pretty awful ships names around, Costa's newest ship COSTA DELIZIOSA must surely be top of the league! I have never heard anything so ridiculous in my life!!!

I am looking forward to the revival of another COSTA RIVIERA or COSTA PLAYA which IMHO were great names.

Not being Italian I assume it means delicious or similar ?

Bugger to pronounce whatever. Seems stupid to have a name that non Italians will not get especially as they are deliberately trying to pull more !

Pitiful name! Costa really is the Carnival of Europe. Even the names are becoming as tacky as Carnival's early names.

I will say it's original ... but that is about the best I can say.

One can only hope that the next one is not called the Costa Extravaganza!

Yeah... how damn dumb is the name "Delicious Coast".

Someone probably won a free cruise for submitting this gem of a name.

Reminds me of a McCain's Pizza brand which we have here called the Delicisio.

Not inspiring in the least.

The tackier the names, the better they describe the lousy Costa product.

They're not courting my type of clientel. I'd never be caught in a room with all of them. I'll keep going around taking photos of the interiors and exteriors and getting my memorabilia.

Sounds like a new Italian cooking show on the Food Network.

To be honest, as long as no one names a ship George W. Bush, I'm okay with just about anything.

I'm waiting for Carnival or Costa Lewinsky which is no worse than this Deli thing.

Of course having a blue it would be easier for the hull artist to have a Lewinskydam which if you didn't know who it was doesn't actually sound that bad. Hilary would christen it of course.

Hey Folks, don't knock it. The Costa ship names are the only Italian bits left.

How about:

Costa Spaghetti
Costa Pizza
Costa Cappuccino
Costa Packet
Costa Farkus

I've always thought Costa Fortuna loses something in translation.

Yes, sread, I think so too. However, Costa Fortuna sounds pleasant in Italian.
