Review summary

Glad I got to Cuba and the cruise was enjoyable but I have been on other ships that were much better with better food, entertainment and amenities. This ship needs an overhaul or at the very least needs to be cheaper

Embarkation

4 out of 5

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

3 out of 5

The buffet was small and limited; weren't any specialty restaurants included; Food was OK but nothing amazing. Overall seemed expensive for what was received.

Onboard Activities

3 out of 5

Smaller and older boat so not much to do onboard. Gym was fine, pools were cold

Entertainment

4 out of 5

These shows were well put together

Service and Staff

3 out of 5

There was nothing in our room indication our stewards name; the waiter service was a bit slow in the dining rooms. There wasn't much information provided about each port/disembarkation unless you happened to be at at an activity where the crew discussed it.

Ship Quality

3 out of 5

Ship is very outdated and needs work. The main lounge on the boat (Dazzles) had an AWFUL smell at all times to it that made it almost impossible to take part in the activities in there or to even walk through. Not all floors connect all the way through which made it hard to get from one place to the next

Cabin / Stateroom

3 out of 5

Our bathroom was dirty and smelled; the shower head was broken and the shower itself was chipping (as was the mirror). The window itself was bigger than expected which was good.
