Review summary

The food and location were the best part. We really enjoyed the free drinks which made the entire trip better but the room comfort was the worst since someone always got stuck sleeping on a couch.

Embarkation

3 out of 5
Easy and fast except no explanation about were to get food, drinks, what room we were especially since it was our first time we had no idea.

Everyone treated us like royalty. They were extremely friendly.

Ship Quality

2 out of 5
Everything seemed okay except the only bar you could get free drinks was on the other side of the ship.

Cabin / Stateroom

2 out of 5
The room size and cleanliness was great except for the fact that we had three adults all paid the same amount yet we had two bed and a couch. It was not comfortable. Worst sleep I had in a while since the couch is tiny and one of our friends legs were hanging because we didn't think it was fair for one person to suffer the entire trip.

Ship tip

Do not get more than two adults per room because it will be a terrible week of sleep.

Ports of call

Miami, Florida

5 out of 5
Easy to follow and get on the boat.

HAVANA, CUBA

2 out of 5
Havana was the best part of the trip. We had an exciting time looking at the historic city and cruising along on the city tour.

Great Stirrup Cay (Cruise Line Private Island), Bahamas

2 out of 5
Wasn't a big fan because the prices for the excursions were outrages such as $99 for a 5-7 min parasail ride. Would have done more if more competitive prices or if we had done to the main Bahamas instead of this private island.

Disembarkation

5 out of 5
It was okay. We had tipped during the entire vacation and still needed to sign additional paperwork to state why we were not paying the gratituity charge delaying our disembarkation.
