Review summary

This trip was on our bucket list, and it more than fulfilled our expectations. We felt like we had taken a step back into time. The Cubans were so friendly, the weather was fantastic, the food superb and the overall stay was over the top. We enjoyed our time on the ship as well. The music allowed us to dance the night away, the games "Not So Newlyweds" and "Dances with the Not So Famous" were a hoot! too bad we didn't participate! Before we even arrived home we were already talking about returning!

Cabin / Stateroom

The most comfortable mattress & pillows ever! I had to take a picture of the brand of pillows so I could purchase once we got back home. Loved waking up and looking out our porthole.

We spent a very short time there, however while waiting to board the ship the waiting area did get a bit stuffy.

HAVANA, CUBA

5 out of 5

We did the Havana Highlights excursion and it was incredible. The only thing I would suggest is having the opportunity to exit the bus and view both Hemmingway's bar and Hotel Nacional. Not spend so much time at the cemetery.
