Ship experiences
Food and Dining
4 out of 5
Breakfast buffet leaves a lot to be desired. Also ate breakfast in MDR. Which was somewhat better. Ate lunch at most options and all was pretty good. Had early dining. Staff was great but food was slower than in years past. Food was good.

Marty the cruise director was pretty good and the fun staff also. Parties were fun and lively. Shows were ok. Have seen much better in the past. Family Feud was great.

Cabin / Stateroom
5 out of 5
Loved the Havana Cabana and the Havana area in general. The ship was full and seats were limited everywhere on the ship. My daughter checked the whole ship. But the Havana area had some all but one day and then it cleared out after 11 anyway. Loved having my own area to hang out in. My older kids had interior rooms and it was a great area to meet. Also loved having the spas. Usually empty opened until midnight.
Ship tip
I believe the ship was understaffed coming out of drydock. Be patient! Some things were slower than usual, but always a great time!
Went to Playa Porto Mari beach. Great beach. Had no problem getting chairs or service at restaurant. Daughter went for a dive through the dive shop there right off the beach.
Rented golf carts through Viator but through DEA rentals. Had a blast exploring the island with a group of us. Loved the craft market at historic downtown. Stopped at some local bars and had fun driving on the “wrong” side of the road. Beautiful beaches for snorkeling.
Did a private jeep tour with AGW tours. Went to caves, pool for jumping in the National Park and to Baby Beach. Bumpiest ride of my life but had a great time. Highly recommend.
