Review summary

Great staff! Ship is perfect for travel to Cuba but as others have mentioned, it is older and doesn't have all the "bells and whistles that the newer ships have. I wouldn't recommend this ship for people with kids. Not much for them to do.

Service and Staff

5 out of 5

I've been on 10 cruises. This staff was, by far, the best I've experienced. I don't know how they do it. They work very hard and are AKWAYS pleasent and eager to help in any way. Special shout out to Leonardo in the Dining Room. He was awesone.

Very small cabin, but very clean.

Ship tip

I would stay on the 3rd deck of the ship. The fourth level is just below the deck with the bars, dance floors, theater, etc and can be heard at night.
