We just came back from cruising around the island OF CUBA on the Celestial Crystal and had a blast. The ship may be older, but it is in great condition and spotless!!The staff on this ship is what made this cruise so exceptional. The waiters are so attentive, the cabin stewarts eager to please and the entertainment staff are full of energy with lots of activities. Danny, the head of the entertainment is full of energy. Martha is another ball of fire and gets people motivated and interested in participating in the ships activities. We found the food very tasty with lots of selections, and the afternoon tea, well lets say we all came home more than a few pounds heavier! The excursions were informative and well run with excellent tour guides. I loved the Cuban culture and people. You also can't miss the evenings entertainment performances. The Cirque dance group are totally professional and could very well be in Vegas! I would highly recommend this cruise.
