I was thrilled to have a new ship going out of nyc. This only requires a $30 r/t train rides for us from bucks county, pa. I previously enjoyed carnivals product & knew it would be a nice place to celebrate 40 years of marriage with our traveling companions. (DAUGHTER & BOYFRIEND)

The havana cabana balcony was a new & inventive idea i wanted to try. I thought we'd spend a lot of time there but there was so much to do we just didn't utilize it as much as i wanted.
