Good cruise but dissapointed that we had to stay on board the final day. Due oil on the boat.

Review summary

It was nice because of the fewer people on board. Older ship, and feel slightly cheated as were we unable to visit a beach because we spent our last day on board in the Bahamas, due to oil on the ship acquired in the port of Cuba

Embarkation

4 out of 5
It was organized, and well run.

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

4 out of 5
The food was good and drinks were excellent. The staff was also excellent.

Onboard Activities

4 out of 5
The onboard activities were good

Entertainment

3 out of 5
Stage shows seemed okay, less entertaining than what I was accustomed to on Royal Caribbean

Service and Staff

5 out of 5
Staff and service was excellent.

Ship Quality

5 out of 5
Excellent

Cabin / Stateroom

3 out of 5
The cabin needed more outlets as I have a machine for sleep apnea and only had one outlet and had to run an extension cord.

Ship tip

Ships are smaller and a little dated, but the crew and staff make up for it.

Ports of call

Miami, Florida

4 out of 5
Good, the disembarkation in Miami was slow and crowded

HAVANA, CUBA

5 out of 5
It was nice, and yes we did TWO excursions, The Cubans were friendly and accommodating. We intend to try and go back.

Great Stirrup Cay (Cruise Line Private Island), Bahamas Did not visit port

Sjip had to go to the Bahamas for oil removal and we could not leave the ship. We should be compensated for this change.

Disembarkation

1 out of 5
Awful, slow and tedious.

I know oil and water do not mix, but the travel from Cuba to the Bahamas did not wash it off, or most of it off the ship's hull?

Really? I thought that some people went to the beach. I stayed on the boat.
