Onboard Activities

4 out of 5
Havana pool was great, never crowded, the pool attendant and bar staff was outstanding. The 2 watersides were great. Did the mini golf, it was ok, my wife did the sky ride, i didn’t meet the weight requirements, she said it was fun. Did not use the fitness center, I like to go around 0530-0600 it doesn’t open until around 0700-0730, very disappointing.
