Cabin / Stateroom

The cabin was nice. Only problem was noise - our cabin was next to entry/exit for crew members. It was a bit noisey at times. Location of cabin was very close to Atrium and easy access to all events on board.

Clean port. No excursion.

HAVANA, CUBA

5 out of 5
Port was nice. Going thru customs / immigration was a bit long but very organized. We did an excursion "Local Flavors..." it was very rewarding. We saw the high and low sides of economy; visited several historic sites and had a great meal - flavors of Cuba - great food, rum, and cigars were sampled.

Disembarkation

All went smoothly with disembarkation.
