Review summary

UNBELIEVABLE, OUR BEST CRUISE SO FAR. We were so glad that we took this cruise to Cuba. It was a great experience for us and our teenage daughters. Both have taken Spanish and tried to practice a little while we were there. If you get a chance to go to Cuba, GO.

I loved the pool on the rear of the ship. It has sea water and I floated easy. I actually took a nap while floating. My daughter woke me up and said I was snoring.

My daughters did not go to club O2.

HAVANA, CUBA

5 out of 5
Havana was like sailing into the 1950's. All the old cars. We did the top 10 best of Havana tour. It was unreal. Words cannot describe it.
