Review summary

Cuba was amazing, making the cruise absolutely worthwhile. Havana is beautiful, even if crumbling. The people are charming and friendly, and NOT crumbling, despite many hardships. Cuba is 5 stars. The Sky is small, which is good for me since I can’t walk far. The cabins are small, but plenty of storage space. Staff very friendly and helpful. Ship is 4 stars. FOOD: mediocre at best. The buffet is very small. Salad was fresh and nice, but prepared foods were gloppy, meat was tough. Desserts looked yummy and tropical, but tasted very artificial and overly sweet. Dining room food was definitely better but still not great. Examples: bouillabaisse was basically tomato soup with some tough pieces of seafood in it. Pasta Carbonara looked lovely, but when I put my fork in it, the entire portion stuck together and came off the plate in one piece. Food that was good: The Cuba menu on days in Havana was pretty good, especially the lamb shank. Caesar salad was good, and you could get it with nice lemony chicken in it. Breakfast: Bagel with smoked salmon in the dining room was very generous and tasty. If you are a tea drinker, ask for 2 teabags, as they only give you one bag for a teapot full of hot water. Food is 2 stars.
