Sail Date: Feb 2017

We chose this cruise, because like most Americans, we want to see Cuba before Americans ruin it. We also enjoy smaller ships & this ship promised to stop in many ports, originally about 7. We origingallly signed up for the first sailing in early 2016. We changed to the 3rd sailing because we were told that the port side would have the best views. That trip was cancelled several times and we finally sailed in Feb. 2017. The ship sailed around Cuba in the opposite direction, so we were on the wrong side. When we asked to change, we were told that one would have no view anyway. Not true.

We lowered our expectations each time that we communicated with the cruise line. Our friends who were to originally sail with us cancelled after the 1st cancellation of the trip.

We had been to Cuba on our own in Dec. 2016, so we knew what to expect in Cuba. The cruise trip was adequate and the general consensus seemed to be that it was drastically overpriced.

Cabin Review

Cabin L? (Balcony)

Our cabin was spacious with a good sized balcony. Unfortunately, we were not on the side of the boat that we were promised because the boat changed direction. There is a tiny TV and no refrigerator. There is a ice bucket & one can fill it oneself at an ice machine of the 4th floor. The bathroom was adequate.
