We chose this cruise to "see all of the old cars" as my husband put it, to buy cigars and to drink Cuban rum. All points were covered and we really enjoyed it. Plus we met some of the most amazing Cubans at every corner. They are warm, intelligent and third world (mostly because of the 50 year rift between our two governments), but they harbored no ill will and were very welcoming to their country,
Embarkation was a breeze. We arrived at 1 and went straight to our cabin. I was surprised that the SS or Vista 065 was so small. It's hardly bigger than an upper level balcony cabin on Carnival.Yes it has a tub, but it's more like a short deep pasta bowl or banana split container. It was really narrow and short and then you have the extra height of stepping over the tub to shower. I'm 5'7" and it was not even something I would use. So if that is a plus to paying for a suite - don't.
I was disappointed that the daily When and Where was not in the cabin. We had to get it from guest services to get one. That should be in the cabin when we arrive along with ice because travelers are thirsty. All other days they were in the cabin at turn down.
Ok, but not what I expected for the money. Much smaller than I thought. Will have to go back to the larger suites or change cruise lines
Nice quiet place, but not a gem. Maybe a diamond in the rough.
