Review summary

The Cuba experience was incredible! We thoroughly enjoyed it. Seeing all the old cars, the beautiful (but sadly, decaying) architecture, was like a 70 year old step back in time!

Embarkation

Seamlessly easy

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

4 out of 5

The restaurants that were part of the "included" fare, were just okay. Not bad, but certainly not worth returning to, if they were on land. Buy the the food upgrade package, that was worth the extra money. Steaks at Cagny's were awesome. The food at the other "pay" restaurants were great as well!

HAVANA, CUBA

5 out of 5

This was awesome that we had 2 days in Havana. This gave us time to really explore and learn about the culture, see some wonderful sites, eat some unique foods, enjoy the city!!! Wish more sailings gave more time to key places like this!

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

Bad seas prevented us from visiting this port. Disappointing.
