Cuba cruise

We selected Sirena and Oceania because the schedule was good for us and the itinerary just what we wanted.

Sirena is a smaller cruise ship than previously booked and we wanted to see if size and quality of ship, as advertised, were true.

Sirena did not disappoint on either account.

With only some 680 passengers the ship was well proportioned for this capacity and certainly there was never an issue with numbers or access to restaurants or facilities.

We booked a Concierge Stateroom which was certainly big enough for us although the ensuite was compact,

This is an older ship that doesn’t show its age yet has all the features of a stately ship.

The ship was immaculately clean and the internal passageways and staircases were equally fastidiously maintained.

Ship’s staff were excellent, attentive and ever-present to meet your every need.

Food standards were exceptional!

Day to day organisation was discrete-with brief rundown of events/activities broadcast once and then you went and did your thing.

Everything was included in the cost except alcohol and shore excursions.

There was no hassle Re photos or any other big ship pressures eg art sales etc.

Perhaps the only - and often mentioned criticism- was the cost of shore tours. They were very expensive. We did our own research and booked tours independently ourselves.

We selected the OLife option when booking to cover off internet and gratuities.

All in all a very well presented ship with outstanding staff and exquisite food.
