Bring Sea Bands, we needed them because the water was rough, sea bands worked.

Miami, Florida

5 out of 5
Stayed at the port, beautiful beaches and lots of restaurants

George Town, Grand Cayman

5 out of 5
We went to 7 mile beach and our daughters went on the 2 tank scuba dive. Everyone was happy with their excursions.

CIENFUEGOS, CUBA

5 out of 5
Did our own excursion to El Nicho waterfalls. Would recommend allowing more time in Cienfuegos because all of the excursions were quite a distance away.

HAVANA, CUBA

5 out of 5
Beautiful architecture. Went on our own excursion with Nely Havana. Great tour operator.

Disembarkation

4 out of 5
Lines were very long.
