Review summary

We chose this cruise because of the ports of call and we’re not disappointed. The size of the ship was large but manageable. Overall food selections were good though the buffet whacked variety excellent, friendly staff! We loved having a Havana balcony and being able to use that area exclusively.

Cruise lines are charging more and giving us less. Less variety, less flavor and far less entertainment. But, all that being noted, we all still jave a wonderful time and it is the best vacation ever.
