Sail Date: Feb 2017

We chose this cruise in order to experience Cuba. The itinerary was changed and we had to spend 6 days sailing around with hardly anything to do on board. The sun deck was half generator making terrible loud noise. There were 2 lounges that were nice. One speaker was just average (too repetitive) and the other was terrible - disjointed, hard to listen to and repetitive presentation. I was assured they would accommodate a vegan menu but onboard was told to just write down what I wanted to eat. (Make up my own menu on vacation? Well, what do you have in the kitchen?). A few meals (not the vegan ones) were good though most were very average. Service was average - never saw much of the cabin steward and dining room server often forgot to bring what we asked for. The two musicians (only entertainment at night) were enjoyable and played and sang different types of music well. A little something different would have been nice. The laundry (a well kept secret - you have to ask if any is available) ruined 3 of our shirts and we heard others complain about that too. That said, we did experience Cuba and enjoyed what we saw. Some of the local guides were very good and we learned a lot from them. Make it a week long would be better. This was very expensive and not worth the money. We recommend trying a different cruise line.

Cabin Upgrade

Very small. Other cabins in the category had more room and a couch instead of two uncomfortable chairs. Be Careful what you are getting
