Sail Date: Dec 2022

We have previously sailed on Discovery 2 and had a great time so we were really shocked to see how much the standards had dropped.

During our week onboard we never had a hot meal served to us in the 47 restaurant and the only really hot food was at the Snack Shack however when sitting on deck 9 at night there were cockroaches running around most nights

There is no policing of the pools, jacuzzis or sun beds. Towels were placed on beds at 8am and watched as the passengers got off for the day. Children were unsupervised and in and out of the jacuzzis; pouring beer and cocktails into them and running around the pool deck. The indoor pool was supposed to be for adults for set times in the day and again was not managed so there was nowhere to get away for a couple of hours.

Cabin Review

No issues at all with the cabin. Clean and tidy. TV and drawers were broken on arrival but were fixed straight away

Port Reviews

Havana

Very smooth getting off of the ship and although we were warned about the locals we found them to be friendly and helpful. They wanted to sell tours but if you declined they were happy to talk anyway about their country. For value for money the hop on hop off bus is the best way to see the capital. We opted for the cars which was great fun.
