Empress of the Seas' First Overnight in Havana
I loved a cruising to Cuba! It was so fun and such an amazing experience. Being part of Empress of the Seas' first overnight in Havana was so special. I really recommend for anyone who loves history and wants to experience a different culture. We did not get off the ship during the night but many people did (between 9pm-11pm) and they seemed to love it!

Gorgeous island with very friendly locals. Also, no one hassles you to purchase from them as they often do in the Caribbean. As much as I like bartering in the stores in the Caribbean, this was a great port to relax and enjoy the scenery in!
Cape Liberty (Bayonne), New Jersey
Only embarked and disembarked here, but was able to do it quickly
Anthem of the Seas
If you can’t book activities online before your cruise, make sure to book them in the Music Hall on embarkation day right when you get on ship or on the Royal IQ app once you get on. Activities sell out fast! The escape room was completely booked by 11:30am on embarkation day for the entire week!
Mendenhall Glacier is a must! We saw a mamma bear and her two cubs at the glacier. The park rangers did an amazing job making sure everyone was safe.
Norwegian Bliss
Make sure to book all onboard activities by the end of the first day.
Great city to visit once and experience some great attractions, but have no desire to return anytime soon.
The White Pass Summit train was great. It is an amazing way to see some of Alaska’s beauty.
We did a rainforest walk and it was great. The best part was seeing a totem pole being carved for the park.
We had no excursion booked, but we walked around the city. Let’s just say Victoria is beautiful and a city I would love to live in. The people were very friendly and I felt very comfortable just walking around.
Take a private tour in Havana. We booked our private walking tour with an hour in a classic car in advance through FerTours 2 Havana. Our guide, Yanelis, was very knowledgeable and very on top of getting us back to the boat on time, as many Cubans do not pay any attention to the time. Old Havana is gorgeous, even though it may not look it from above. This cruise is perfect for anyone who loves history and wants to embrace a different culture.
Key West is very walkable if you don't want to take an excursion or pay for a trolley tour. However, know you could easily walk up to 5 or 6 miles in a few hours.
Empress of the Seas
Be prepared for not too many events at night. But, definitely go to the nightly events as they were amazing.
