Review summary

We were very lucky to visit Havana before politics prevented it. The Cuban tour guides made more in tips than doctors make in a month. We enjoyed meeting new people every night for dinner at anytime dining. Ask to have a share table.

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

4 out of 5

Few cruise ships have gourmet dining but it was good. I do miss the lobster dinner on dress night that Carnival charges extra for.

Entertainment

5 out of 5

The comedians were excellent and we enjoyed the piano bar

Service and Staff

5 out of 5

I was surprised when the cabin steward asked if I wanted my room done in the morning or evening. I found out that all the cabin stewards asked the same thing

Ship Quality

5 out of 5

it is a small older ship bu it is in good condition

Cabin / Stateroom

4 out of 5

It was small and was set up to have bunk beds which cost us space in the room. I would recommend it only if you are on a budget.
