Review summary

Highly recommend this cruise and Royal Caribbean. With the political climate being what it is, may not be able to go for much longer. If there is only one thing I could take back with me it would be how fortunate we are to be Americans and living where we do!

Embarkation

5 out of 5

Just a wonderful experience. Great to see Key West making such great strides in getting back to normal after Irma. Havana was great to see. The Cuban people were very friendly for the most part, the excursions were informative, and the cruise was just spectacular! Would give 6 stars if I could!

Some of the best we have seen. Alfred & Seymour are not to be missed! The “showgirl revue” was as good as any we have seen in Vegas.

Panda and Felipe in the main dining area were exemplary. But all the wait staff was great!

Couldn’t have said it better. By far the most eye opening trip I’ve ever been on

Assume you are referring to Cuba ? Which excursion did you do - did you book thru RC or on your own ?
