Review summary

Key West was nice, had never been. Should have waited another couple of months for hurricane damage to be cleaned up. On the other hand Cuba was Fantastic! So much to see and do, all the people were friendly, I didn't have any problems with anything or anybody in Cuba. I do plan to go back. Just cant say enough about how beautiful the buildings are, now they are a poor country and it shows but they welcomed us with open arms.

Disembarkation

Slowest disembarkation I have ever witnessed....took a couple of hours and I was moved to the front of a couple of lines as I walk with a cane.
