We were very excited to go on this cruise to Cuba and happy to say it met our expectations. Cuba was incredible and we had an overnight in Cuba so we were able to spend a lot of time on land. The people of Cuba are extremely friendly and nice. We felt completely safe, even walking down side streets alone at night. Much safer than New York or Chicago or any major city. The ship is small but in good condition and the staff very friendly, helpful and accommodating. We had several people in our group with special dietary needs and they accommodated all of them. The head waiter came over each night to menu plan and design specialty dishes for them that were not on the menu and they were delicious.

My teen daughter had a blast an the ship, we barely saw her as she spent time in the teen club and made a lot of friends. Since it was a smaller ship, we really liked the fact that nothing was very crowded and could go to any activity without pre-planning (something you need to now do on the mega-ships).

As others have said, the cabins are VERY small.We had an outside cabin, no balcony (very few rooms have a balcony). There was the beds and 1 vanity chair, not easy to spend anytime in the cabin. Also, very limited drawer space so pack wisely.

Cabin Review

Cabin Outside

The cabins are very small. No seating area and very limited storage space.
