We decided to sail to Cuba because the fares were so reasonable. I knew going in that the ship was not a luxury liner. However, I was surprised at the size of the balcony cabins and bathroom. They were miniature. One little desk that did not hold all of our electronics and only two plugs right by the desk. No coffee maker, just a hotpot with instant coffee and tea. The room was clean.
Having read some of the previous reviews, we brought several bottles of water on board with us. Also having read reviews, we bought Euros to change into the Cuban cucs. This was not necessary, as we could have changed U.S. money at the pier in Havana. The first day shore excursion was an all day bus ride around Cuba. Luckily we had a great guide who explained many things about how the average Cuban lives. I could have spent an hour picking his brain. Lunch was at a local restaurant and very good.
The second day was a walking tour. Our guide spent too much time talking about things we all had no interest in, plus his microphone was faulty and we couldn't hear. We opted to take a cab around the city. Though our driver didn't speak much English, we managed.
Teeny tiny. Two beds that together make a queen, so they are smaller than twin sized. A sofa but no chair and a small desk completed the room. No table. Bathroom was tiny as well. My knees were almost in the shower while sitting in there. It is a very old ship, and it shows. However, it was clean.
