Review summary

Although we did not get to go to Cuba, we still enjoyed the cruise overall. A nice, smaller boat that provided good service and food.

Embarkation

5 out of 5
Was much smoother than I expected. I had heard stories of waiting hours, this was not the case.

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

5 out of 5
Main dining room food was good, and service was good. Only ate the hamburgers/hot dogs on outdoor buffet, but loved them. Cagney's was excellent! A really good steak and dining experience that I will do again on a future cruise.

Onboard Activities

3 out of 5
Pools were too crowded. Casino was good.

Entertainment

4 out of 5
DJ was okay, but did not play enough of each song. I would just get into it when he would change songs.

Children's Programs

No kids.

Service and Staff

5 out of 5
The room stewards was excellent and always was interested in taking care of our room. Waiters in restaurants were good and took good care of us. Cocktail service was okay.

Ship Quality

5 out of 5
Ship was clean and laid out in a manner that was fairly easy to navigate.

Cabin / Stateroom

5 out of 5
Loved our cabin, the view from there was amazing. The only comment I would complain about was that there was cleaning or scraping around 5 AM that woke me up every morning.

Ports of call

Miami, Florida

3 out of 5
Nothing special in Miami.

Nassau, Bahamas

5 out of 5
Enjoyed Nassau. Wandering around town was very fun. We did not do a excursion here.

Freeport, Grand Bahama Island

5 out of 5
Absolutely loved the bike tour of Freeport and the beaches...highly recommend.

Great Stirrup Cay (Cruise Line Private Island), Bahamas

5 out of 5
The Swim with Pigs was kind of silly, but fun. Really enjoyed the snorkeling. One problem, was told food would be available in the morning, so we skipped breakfast to take the first tender. Found out no food would be available until 11:30 AM. We did not get to eat until well after our first excursion.

Disembarkation

5 out of 5
I could not believe how quickly we got off the boat, on a bus, and arrived at the airport. We waited five hours as I booked a flight expecting to have to go through a lengthy disembarkation process. Bravo!
