Booked this cruise because it was going to Cuba. Most of our cruises have been on bigger ships so it took some getting used to the smaller venue. After awhile, it was nice not to have to walk so far for eating etc. Only small issue was the space at the bottom of the bed - neither of us could walk through at the same time. Otherwise the room was adequate. Would have liked a bigger TV.

Shopping was minimal with not much to buy. I needed a new tube of lipstick and the only thing they had was a package of 4 that cost way way way too much. I didn't need four and I wouldn't have used any of the other colors either. I punted with what I had.

We did a Havana tour the first day and were able to see everything we thought we should see. Our guide was very accommodating and spoke very good English, I was able to take lots and lots of pictures. My first impression of the Cuban people was that they are very friendly - lots of smiles when we passed them. We were able to buy a couple bottles of rum and my husband was suppose to buy cigars for a friend. Found them in one place and after that didn't see much of either. Read more
