We booked Havana Cabin overlooking Pool which was green for 2 days until we asked why the pool is green.Well,it wasn't tile,the pool was dirty; the crew member said wasn't enough chemicals on board,so we went up to deck 10 & those pools were green too.Informed GS & the 3rd day all the pools were clean!Dining is not very good except for Guys burgers, Guy's BBQ, Sushi & the Seafood Shack. We went to Asian & Italian places & both got sick right after in the bathroom.The bars on the ship are nice however there are NO servers walking around in the Havana area because according to the Hotel Director we only paid the high premium to have a private pool til 7 pm & a better room not service.The serenity(21 & up) area; nicer than Havana area:better furniture,salad fruit bar, 3bartenders(we had 1)& 2-4 servers walking around(0 in Havana)
Cabin Review
Havana Aft-View Extended Balcony
Cabin HI
The Havana room is no HAVEN (wink wink)., The cabin it self is very spacious except for the bathroom has a small shower BUT it was still nice. Couldn't sit outside on it at night because of the constant smell of weed. Yes, weed. We smelled it outside there and even at the Dine in Movie one night and had to get up and leave.
Port Reviews
Amber Cove (Puerto Plata)
Went to Sunscape Resort and the Public beach was nice except for the people always in your face when you laying on a lounge chair BUT the resort was excellent! The food was great, the swim up bar was excellent and we the pool itself is very large their even is a second one but the waterfall is our favorite spot.
Curacao
Went to Mambo Beach!!! EXCELLENT!!! No cost for lounge chairs and the rock area is beautiful. You can rock jump and so much more. It's enclosed too. Saw crabs on the rocks walking and we had an excellent time!!!
Aruba
Eagle Beach is truly the BEST BEACH we've ever been too. The sand is pink and perfect! Great for snorkling too. A MUST BEACH to go too. Chairs are expensive so bring $$$
