Was a short getaway cruise to see if Cuba would be worth a longer stay. Enjoyed our time on board with the friendly staff, and the tours that we did take, Cozamel is s gun port and can be visited multiple times with out repeating activities.

Shows in theater we're good, lounge music was good, and entertainment in the centrum was fun
Service and Staff
5 out of 5
Not one complaint about staff, great service from everyone
Ship Quality
4 out of 5
Considering the age of this ship it was in very good shape. This is the oldest and smallest ship in the RCL fleet. Not going to nit pick everyday ware and tear that happens.
Cabin / Stateroom
5 out of 5
Was very clean and comfortable. Small but useable bathroom, very large closet for hanging clothes. No refigerator in room, flat screen TV,
Ship tip
The balcony rooms are on deck 9, deck 10 is the pool area and is very noisy and you can hear the banging of deck chairs starting at 7am
Music on deck 10 lasted past 1am and could be heard, If you are a light early sleeper try to get a room towards the back part of deck 9 or get an ocean view on one of the lower decks
Exchange rate is a rip off at 13% for US dollar, get some Canadian dollars from bank as the exchange 1 for 1
City is old, buildings in disrepair and a lot of mildew on them. The amount of old cars is highly over expressed from what we saw
It is cheaper. To get a ride in a old car out side the terminal than going through the ship tours. Rum and cigars are cheaper in Cozemel
Did no tours, went shopping and enjoyed the downtown area.
Shop around and the Cuban Rum and cigars will cost you less because of the exchange rate difference
$8 for taxi to town for 4 people
Would be an interesting venue for a longer stay and indulging in some of the local cafes and sites that are not on a 4 hour tour and to ,"selected" shops. Finding a good safe & clean place to stay would be number 1 priority. A lot of history in Havana. Join the Canadian and European visiters that frequent Havana. Would go back but have other things to do first
