Chose because of the Cuba itinerary, overnight in Havana and a good promotion. The ship was very clean with constant cleaning going on everywhere. The ship is a good size, you could always find somewhere to sit to relax, read, play cards. Entertainment was as expected but the karaoke was an unexpected surprise...a couple of the performers were amazing. Activities seem to be geared for late ...
Our experience on the Sky to Cuba was great. After reading reviews for the past 6 months, we boarded the ship with very low expectations, knowing that we were going primarily because of the overnight in Havana. We were very pleasantly surprised! We found the ship to be clean & in good shape for an older ship, the food was above average & the staff were very friendly & accommodating. This was ...
We went on our 7th cruise with NCL and really enjoyed Cuba even though it was only for a day and a half. The Bahamas was really NCL's private island which was nice but lacks the ambience of the Bahamas. On NCL you can eat and drink as much as you like and almost any time at all there is a cafe or restaurant where you can eat. Trouble is, you tend to eat more than you should and you will probably ...
We wanted to go to Cuba. The Norwegian Sky allowed us to overnight there. We booked a tour guide online and and we were so glad we did. We were the only couple with that tour guide and we went where we wanted to go. For the same price as the ship's tours our guide was available to us from 9 a.m. to 11 p.m. We did not last until 11 p.m. but our guide would have been happy to keep going until ...
to go to cuba never sailed on Norwegian before it was great the food in the dining room was a lot better than royal carribean sailed over 30 times on royal but Norwegian is my new favorite. Cuba was fantastic took a private tour in Cuba. The one fault with Norwegian is that there shore excursions are priced way to high. the only other fault is that the tipping is way too high Removed ...
We just wanted to go to Cuba. This was the perfect cruise. All of the staff were very attentive and helpful. Always a smile on their faces. Komang and Gede in the palace restaurant were the best!! Our room staff Gregory was always there to lend a hand. Freestyle is really the only way to go. It was nice to be able to eat what we wanted, when we wanted. And all of the food was delicious. There was ...
We choose this itinerary so that we could see Cuba. The cost is higher than other cruises, but you need to consider this includes your alcohol and soda for free. This ship is small but in good condition with really friendly employees.
Disembarkation in Cuba took almost 2 1/2 hours. A lot of tours were missed or rescheduled due to the untimely exit. We were told it was because there was a ...
I selected this cruise because it was offered by Apple Vacations as an authorized People-to-People tour for Americans and it was a smaller ship (since I had never been on a cruise before, the idea of being on a boat with 1000's of other travelers was not my idea of vacation.) There is a more luxurious (MORE expensive) cruise line that also cruises around Cuba but I'm not one who needs be waited ...
Thank you for sharing your experience on board the Crystal with us and for choosing to experience the wonders of Cuba with Celestyal Cruises. Your photos are indeed lovely! Your compliments...
We had always wanted to go to Cuba, and when Viking said it was going, we signed up. While there were obstacles along the way (Cuba nixing port call for us in Havana, unexplained medical problems suffered by American diplomats in Cuba, itinerary changes, U.S. Cuba travel regulation changes), we are very glad we didn't cancel this cruise. There was some extra effort in getting to Havana, but ...
Also a first in many ways, one we almost missed. The chance to sail on a new ship with a new ocean cruise line was a draw. The opportunity to see Cuba at last was reason. The chance to go to Belize as well was a plus. When the Viking Sun told us we wouldn't be docked in Havana and would spend 3 days in Cienfuegos and had to ride a bus for three hours to get to Havana and wouldn't even go to ...
