Review summary

I thoroughly enjoyed myself on this cruise. The main complaint I had was that the Aft Elevators always seemed to have an extremely long wait... even when people were trying to use them appropriately. One thing I would like to suggest is an indicator showing what deck each elevator is currently on. Then, at least you would know they were working and not just stuck somewhere. I would like to acknowledge and thank the following people for making the cruise an exceptionally fantastic vacation for me: My room steward: unfortunately I do not recall their name. The beautiful young lady at the spa who always knew everyone’s name. The Alchemy Bar staff: Annamaria, Mark, and Nader. The dining room staff: Martin, Jayrus, and Noien. The fantastic entertainers: Jahni and Ximenia

Our second time dining in the main dining room was not a good experience, we waited on our food for two hours. After that we had, a different team taking care of us and they were excellent! Kudos to Martin, Jayrus, and Noien!

Ship Quality

Loved the ship... just would like to see an indicator on the elevators showing what deck each one is currently located. It would help people be a little more patient when waiting for them.

Cabin / Stateroom

It was a comfortable room... nothing exceptional about it. However, the balcony was fantastic! It was very roomy and overlooked the Havana area.
