Review summary

This was a great cruise. Very clean ship with friendly staff. The new elevators could be frustrating at times. Havana area was very quiet. I would get a cabin there again.

Liquid Lounge

They need more seating in there. With 4600 passengers, there isn't enough seats for people in there.

Cabin / Stateroom

5 out of 5
We had an extended aft balcony. It was part of the Havana cabins. Would highly recommend this.

Ship tip

I would definitely recommend carrying off your pan luggage. The carousel is a mess and takes a long time to get you're luggage. At least it did for us.

Ports of call

La Romana, Dominican Republic

We did a dune buggy excursion. It was very scary to me, but everyone else loved it.

Disembarkation

5 out of 5
Debarkation was great, but waiting 45 minutes for our luggage was annoying
