We chose this cruise as it sailed from Havana and we disembarked in our home province of Alicante so we got to see Havana and the Caribbean with no jet lag!
The cabin (inside fantastica) was spacious and airy due to the clever use of mirrors. Plenty of wardrobe space and room to move around.
The entertainment team were great. Not to everyone’s taste I get that but the ship was big enough to ...
We decided on this cruise as a sudden addition to our bucket list - Havana (Cuba), St Marteen, Antigua, Madera - all in one sweep.
Getting through Havana airport was an exceptional experience and one not to be glamorised in any way. We arrived at the ship quite late went through the obligatory photograph, not much in the way of a welcome, collected our cards then straight to our cabin and ...

Our experience of Miami a couple of years back was simply a bus ride from airport to seaport, and even ...

Cruise Critic gives a good overview of the history of the ship and its chequered career. Ship enthusiasts might want to read the Wikipedia entry to help them flesh out the details. At time of writing the ship has changed identity yet again. The transformation began while we were in Montego Bay, and the Louis Cristal will become the Celestyal Cristal by the time she reaches the ...
First let me emphasize that while we are on a website which critiques ships essentially, the Cuba Cruise in my opinion should be looked upon in a category of it's own i.e. that of a trip involving a ship to a fascinating country. Notice I did not say ideal, but there have been some remarkable accomplishments in the area of universal access to medical care, high quality education at no cost and a ...
The Good
We boarded the Cuba cruise in Havana on January 19, 2015 at approximately 12h30 and the embarkation was extremely smooth.. We were in our cabin within minutes and our bags arrived within the hour..
The service throughout the ship was exceptional - actually one of the best we have had.. We have taken cruises rated 5+ stars (Princess, Celebrity & Oceania) and have not seen this level of ...
Here are a few comments and observations about our most recent cruise with a Canadian run company called Cuba Cruise on the ship Louis Cristal.
Sad to say but aside from the good weather, it was the most disappointing cruise we have ever had. Here’s a synopsis of what the week was like.
In Havana where we started, the 30 minute bus ride to the pier was good as the guide on board pointed out a ...
