Review summary
Our favorite part of the cruise was, by far, the fabulous staff. Our favorite was Ivana Cadjenovic. She took such excellent care of us in the bar and was so friendly and pleasant to talk to. We also loved our dining room waiters, but unfortunately, I can't remember their names. They were wonderful. There were 4 of us and we sat at the same table each night in the corner of the dining room. They took care of us and usually knew our needs before we even requested them!
We enjoyed visiting Cuba.
My only complaint (and I don't even like to call it that) is that compared to other ships we have been on (including others with Royal Caribbean), this one didn't have nearly as many activities (which I'm sure was because of the ship being so much smaller). Our state room was the smallest I had been in since cruising 20 or 30 years ago. We barely had room to unpack, but really had no choice since there was no space (even on the floor) to sit a suitcase.

Ship tip
Do not pack any more clothes than absolutely necessary, unless you have booked a larger cabin. You will not have room for much.
