Sail Date: May 2016
When we booked in August, 2015, we knew this cruise would be an historic event, but didn’t imagine there would be such media focus on the first cruise ship to sail from the U.S. to Cuba in 50 years. We were pleasantly – and at time not so pleasantly – surprised to encounter all the media buzz.
I’d love to go back, but next time it'll be on my own. The rest of the world has free reign to travel to Cuba, and it'll start to get easier for the U.S. There are very good tour companies within the country, and it's only a 45-minute plane trip from Miami (~ $450 round trip).

Cabin Review
Cabin Balcony
We chose this cabin when we booked in August, 2015. Mid-ship, not too high up, unobstructed views. I was very happy with the location.
The cabin decor was quite average. Storage is good. Bed and couch were comfortable. Floor was very dusty with many dustballs on the carpet. Balcony floor was dirty, but since it's outside I suppose that's to be expected.
Port Reviews
Santiago de Cuba
No excursion was available, but we toured via bus and a small walking tour of the city center. We walked through the fortress Castillo de San Pedro de la Roca, and saw a dance production in the center, which was very good. We were able to walk down the main shopping boulevard but had to remain with our group, which was frustrating. Touring by bus is difficult, and I was grateful each time we had an opportunity to get off.
