Although we had an obstructed view it was fine for a 5 night cruise. Hanging closet was fine, but drawers were very limited.

No formal night, bring casual dining clothes. Bring one white outfit for the "White" party.

Finding the port and getting on the ship was very easy.

Because we had been to Key West before and taken excursions, we decided to walk around and enjoy the area and watch the people, have a mohito.

HAVANA, CUBA

We took a tour if the Old Town. We would have like to have stayed longer. We loved seeing the beautiful older cars.

Disembarkation

This was a VERY long process. There were 8 customs booths, but only 3 or 4 were open. The line from the ship to customs was an hour long.
