This was our first cruise and we loved it. We wanted a taste of Cuba and that is what we got. This is an older cruise ship but small and more intimate. 27 nationalitiess in the crew and 29 in passengers. Crew were fabulous without exception. Food in the Amalthia Restaurant great and after a first night sitting fiasco, all ran smoothly. Evening activities fun. Cabin small but adequate. Shower great. Ports of call all good. Would have liked a little more time in Havana and could have done without Punta Frances as I live on an island with beaches but great. Disembarking was smooth. I may even look at their other cruises now.

We did no ship excursions as we prefer independent travel but heard they were good. My only quibbles... Very poor coffee and lack of drinking water available outside of Restaurants and bars unless purchased. Water should be freely available... A very good first cruise experience.

Quite adequate and on deck five which was great. I liked the fact that one could walk out onto a deck and my fourteen year old Grandson liked having the Duty free store right there...
