We decided to do a family cruise and my cousin signed us for this one. It was going to Cuba and we all wanted to check it out. I have been on 2 Carnival cruises when I was young and I wasn’t a fan because the crowd was much older and I guess the ships I went on were lacking so I was happy to try Royal Caribbean but still reluctant about cruising. Two weeks before we sailed I learned this ship was the oldest and smallest and I was not happy and thought oh no it’s going to be so boring! Then I read terrible reviews on here also so that freaked me out!

I was so wrong! We all had a blast! The itinerary was perfect except being two short! It was a 4 night cruise and we were either in Bahamas or Cuba. I really could have used a whole day of cruising at the end to relax because I was doing something or exploring off the boat everyday. When we were sailing we had a great time with the parties, shows and on board, activities, and dining. Super quick to get everywhere because the ship is small. The all white dance pool party was a blast! Our food was good! We liked that you could sit in the pool since it was so deep and I can’t swim. It said it had four spas but I only saw 3 and we were in them everyday watching movies. We loved the movie screen by the pool but the view was limited and obstructed in most places so we had to be creative with that.

I am a fan of washy washy! At the entrance to the buffet there are sinks and soap to wash your hands. I’m a nurse and I was so happy to see this and that everyone did it!!

Cabin Review

Interior Stateroom

Cabin 2V

Im not sure what level out cabin was but it was a reg interioir cabin with 2 twin beds. It was small and in the 4th floor. We had robes and our attendant Shawn was so nice and kept our room spotless the entire time, several times a day. The robes were super helpful and unexpected!

I went to Cabbage Beach the whole day! It was beautiful. We did the banana boat and had fun beach day.

Havana

We explored ourselves and met some locals! Friendly people. Had a blast and felt safe the entire time. Beaches were about 30 min away.
