Review summary

It was a nice cruise with enjoyable food, relaxation, and entertainment!

Embarkation

3 out of 5

We got to get on earlier than scheduled. It moved a long nicely, but the elevators were a challenge. Some people didn't realize to press the button outside for as many people in their group.

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

5 out of 5

All the food was great and fresh except for one. During the sea day brunch I got the fried chicken and it was dry and bland.

Onboard Activities

5 out of 5

I stayed in a Havana Cabana and private access to the pool/bar area was a much appreciated reprieve from the Lido and Splash pool areas.

Entertainment

5 out of 5

Horizon Rock Band were the best musicians on board. The Celestial Strings performance was the best from the entertainment crew.

Service and Staff

5 out of 5

The bartenders in Havana were the best. Anak and Jose Louis! Waiters were mostly great - twice I had them forgot/delay on requests in the dining room. Webster was a great steward. The bartenders on Lido deck seemed understaffed/undertrained. The urgency and cooperation could use some work to get those drinks out. The server gave me a Bahama Mama when I asked for a Paloma.

Ship Quality

5 out of 5

No complaints.

Cabin / Stateroom

5 out of 5

Loved this cabin. I researched it on YouTube and would stay there again.
