Royal Caribbean is a great cruise line. The Empress of the Sea has been totally made over, and is very spacious for a small ship. Service aboard is top notch. To be one of the first cruises into Havana Cuba was very exciting. To see the country was very interesting. Interacting with the locals was great. This cruise met all of our expectations. We understand RC will be offering overnight cruises to Havana in the near future, which we would consider going on in order to experience more of the country. Staff were very courteous and easy to interact with. My Time Dining worked out well for us. Our friends we traveled with have cruised on RC in the past, and were also very pleased with this cruise. We are already planning our next cruise through the RC travel agent we booked this one with who happened to be on this cruise--and we got to meet.
