They all went out of their way to provide excellent service.

Ship Quality

5 out of 5
The smaller ship made it easy to get around. Appreciated the location of the casino - did not have to pass through it every time we went from one end of the ship to the other. Also the centrum was not as noisy as other ships we have been on. Overall, we enjoyed the ship.

Cabin / Stateroom

5 out of 5
For a 5 day cruise, the room was adequate.

What was lecture on? Cuba? Ships operation? Something else?
