We chose this cruise to go to Cuba. Not impressed with the ship or cruise line. everything costs extra money, or is a sales pitch to buy something else. The ship is a small boat built in 1990 and "refurbished" for these cruises. They painted over the rust, threw down some carpet and fancy fixtures, but it is still an old ship. Not very smooth at sea. When the ship was cruising at slower speeds it rocked back and forth with the waves (which were not that big). SMALL rooms. Small pool(only one). No activities for teenagers. Overpriced shore excursions. Go off ship and find your own for half the price. Tricked into buying drink package from cruise line. told us we had to use the shore excursions to go into Cuba.

The breakfast was cold. The scrambled eggs were always runny. The kids had to go to the bar to get drinks refilled. Havana was amazing. great friendly people.

Cabin Review

Cabin cheap seats

Cabins were small. with a double bed in the middle of room, there was barely a foot of space on either side.
