Food was great - had some Cuban theme meals. This cruise was set to full-ship all passenger open bar, so we upgraded to Premium Drink Package

Stayed the night before at hotel in South Beach and bar hopped that night. Expensive but worth doing South Beach at least once.

Great Stirrup Cay (Cruise Line Private Island), Bahamas

3 out of 5

Back in 2010-2011 era, it was a rustic beach offering simplicity and charm. Now, there are a bunch of buildings and less charm

Key West, Florida

3 out of 5

Key West is OK. Some good bars, some not. Some good restaurants ... well, you get the idea.

HAVANA, CUBA

5 out of 5

Awesome overnight with 2 days in Havana. Did big time sightseeing, saw the show at The Tropicana Club (must see), rode in classic car. Took it all in. Hope the US re-opens tourism to Cuba. The people need the tourists
