Review summary

Overall, the cruise was great. The staff were friendly and supportive. They would have gotten a 5 except for our experience with getting off in Cuba. Preference was given to those who booked excursions with RC, then 3rd Parties, then solo journeys. The solo people got the short end of the stick and had to wait for almost everyone to leave the ship. My experience was a little different. The process was far too long with limited prior explanation. Basically if you had a 9am appointment, you have to tell the staff that it's at 8am or you want get off until 9:30. In any case, I would do this trip again and again.

Embarkation

3 out of 5
The porters were great, but plan to tip them cash. The process is a little confusing, such as one desk to fill out paperwork then join another line check and they are not both in the same direction, then back across to board the ship. If it wasn't for the camera crew, you couldn't tell where to board.

They truly went out of their way to make us happy. Even when problems occurred they bent over backwards to make us happy. Best crew that I've ever cruised with.

Ship tip

Board early to explore the ship. If there is something you need, ask ANYONE who works on the ship. They will make sure you get what need or answer your question.

Ports of call

Key West, Florida

4 out of 5
Once you get pasted the Port shopping, take a Trolley Tour. You'll see the Island and get a historic tour.

HAVANA, CUBA

5 out of 5
I would like to thank the Cuban people for their hospitality. This truly was my best port. My family did a third party tour (my only negative is getting off the ship for this. It was not managed properly and we were 30 mins late for our tour even when arriving 90 min prior)

Cozumel, Mexico

5 out of 5
Easy to leave and did a random tour from a local driver. Had a great time. USD is taken everywhere so souveniers are plentiful. Don't buy jewerly outside pier area because it will be fake.
