We were the 7th sailing of NCL's new ship, Luna, which is part of their Prima Class. The ship was…read morebeautiful and the crew were all very friendly. We always purchase the Thermal Suite which is located at the front of the ship. They only sell a limited amount of passes which gives you unlimited access to the adults only Mandara Spa area. The Luna has a couple of different sauna rooms compared to their other ships like the Finnish Sauna, Charcoal Sauna and Clay Sauna. They also have an Ice Room which was refreshing after being in the saunas, a Salt Room and an Experiental Shower. The Relaxation Area has heated loungers and padded loungers where you can read a book or just close your eyes and relax. What I didn't like was the buffet area. They no longer have rows of sinks on both sides as you walk in. There is only 1 sink which is sort of "hidden". The soap is under the cabinet so if you are tall, you can't see the sign indicating where the soap is. Their garbage has a spring loaded panel which you have to push hard to get it to open which defeats the purpose of washing your hands. There was 1 crew member off to the side with a spray bottle of sanitizer. They were not really paying attention to people walking in and there was no one enforcing "washy, washy". For some reason, we were unable to make Specialty Dining reservations prior to getting on our cruise. I received an email from NCL 5 weeks before our cruise date reminding me to make reservations for the Specialty Dining but the only one that was available was the Thai restaurant. When we got on a ship, we had to go to the Theater and stand in a long line so that we could make dining reservations. My husband got tired of standing in the line and wandered off to see if we could make reservations a different way. He discovered that we could make dining reservations at Hasuki where there were only a couple of people waiting in line! We went to 2 shows (Hiko & Elton). They don't take reservations for the shows. I don't remember now, but I think the doors open 30 min. before the show. You'll want to start lining up at least an hour (if not more) before the show starts because there was already a line forming. There are two levels for the theater and 2 entrances on each floor. For activities, they have an Aqua Slidecoaster, The Drop which is a 10-story dry slide. a rope obstacle course, mini golf course ($5 fee) and a game arcade. I loved that they had a non-smoking casino. I brought N95 masks anticipating that I was going to have to wear them and was pleasantly surprised that I didn't need them. There is a separate enclosed room for smokers. The Indulge Food Hall was an awesome addition. If you sit at a table, you can order from any of the restaurants in the Food Hall and your food is brought to your table. It's included in your complimentary dining. Overall, we had a great time and are looking forward to another cruise next year!

We travel a lot and the 2018 Havana International Jazz Festival was the best trip ever! We have…read morealso taken 6 tours in other countries. Some were a single day and some were for 10 days. We have had some great guides, but none come close to our guide in Cuba, Ms Linnett Brown. When we go back and we will go to this festival often we want Linnet as our guide again. I can't say enough good about Jazz Cuba, Cuba Explorer, and the San Cristobal Travel Agency. There were no problems even minor ones. Before we left they sent us very detailed instructions that covered everything. The arrival was just as we were told it would be and our driver was easy to spot. He dropped us at our hotel where we met our guide and some of the other folks on the tour. We also traded some USD for Cuban Pesos. The actual tour was hosted by The San Cristobal Travel Agency which is a branch of the Cuban government and they did an excellent job. Most of our meals were furnished. All were good and some were excellent. Breakfast every day at the hotel. Then on the tour, we ate different places for lunch and dinners. The last night we had 2 lobsters each! The tour left the hotel at 8 or so each morning and we returned about 3 in the afternoon. Just the right time as the festival started about that time each day. Touring we went to see lots of interesting stuff. Museums, Ernest Hemingway's estate, Old Havana, the Havana Club Rum Museum, Plaza de la Revolución, Callejón de Hamel, and a huge marketplace full of vendor shops with interesting things. I bought a Guayaberas for $13 that was well made and nice looking. In the States it would be $40+. After the tour each day we were free to party on and we sure did. Opening and closing nights where at the National Theater of Cuba. Opening night was a concert by Chucho Valdés probably the greatest piano player alive today. Not just him either as his band is one of the better Latin Jazz quartets. His percussionist was wailing on a set of 4 congas. Yup 4 congas! I'll get back to the festival, but there is music year around everywhere in Cuba. Many of the restaurants and even a few shops have live music. The tour bus pulled over at just a place along the coast for us to check out the ocean. There were a couple of dudes there playing guitars. After the weirdness at our newly opened Embassy with the sound problems, the U.S. government went back to restricting what U.S. citizens can do in Cuba. BTW the problem with the ultrasonic waves turned out to be feedback between 2 different sets of spy microphones hidden in our Embassy. Neither set was put there by the Cubans who were very happy to be seeing more Gringos. They were hidden by the Russians and Chinese probably. Anyway, our administration blacklisted two of the most famous hotels in Havana, the Hotel Nacional de Cuba, and the Hotel Capri. So we stayed at the Hotel Capri. It is a beautiful, but older hotel and we will stay there again. Yes, we are going back next year I hope. I want to go to this festival every year from now on. It was that good. You can't go to all the festival as there are different stages around the city with performers appearing at the same time. Across the street from our hotel was a trade center with wandering walks between the buildings. There were 4 stages set up on the grounds. We heard some excellent music by different Cuban bands on those 4 stages. Groups that would have been a treat if that was all the festival had to offer. On the main stages on different nights in addition to Chucho Valdés we saw the Buena Vista Social Club and Aragón. OMFG Aragón! Orquesta Aragón was founded in 1939. Yes, there has been a huge turnover of its members. They are simply the best Latin Jazz group on the planet. All the members are total pros and during the show, other musicians came on stage to do a number with them. People were coming and going, but at one time there were 37 people on stage performing. Aragón was the musical high point of the week of performances. A few other things about Havana. The old American cars are everywhere. Some are perfect showpieces ready for a Concurs de Elegance and some are rolling death traps. Most are somewhere in between. The nicer ones can get an official taxi license. But, there are gypsy cabs roaming all the avenues. Some are the old American cars and many of those cars are powered by small Russian built Diesel engines. I'd say about 30% of the cars in Havana are the old American built cars and many of them are Chevys. Another about 30% are Russian built Ladas. The Ladas are Fiats built in the USSR and are total crap cans. The rest of the cars are an interesting mix of old and new. One thing you won't see is many German cars. A few VWs, I think I saw 3 Mercedes, no Porsches or BMWs. Oddly there just aren't pick up trucks in Havana. I don't know why? We came home on what turned out to be Alaska's last flight from the island. All my photos were shot with an iPhone using Camkix lenses.

A Great Cruise With Some Gaps -- But The Haven? Game‑Changer…read more Norwegian Cruise Line delivered a really enjoyable vacation overall, but let's call it like it is: this isn't the most kid‑centric cruise line out there. If you're expecting wall‑to‑wall family programming, this isn't that. That said, the Kids Academy was an absolute hit--the staff was fantastic, the activities kept the little ones happy, and it quickly became the go‑to spot. And the arcade? Total blast. Easily one of the highlights for the kids (and, let's be honest, the adults too). Entertainment-wise, the shows could use a little more spark. Nothing bad, just missing that "wow, we need to see that again" energy. A bit more excitement or variety would go a long way. Now... the part that bumps this from a 3.5 to a solid 4 stars: The Haven. We scored a deal, and if you know, you know. Private restaurant, priority everything, a butler who somehow appears exactly when you need them--it's a different world up there. The Haven experience smooths out every rough edge and turns the whole trip into something special. Overall, Norwegian delivered a great cruise with a few areas that could level up, but thanks to The Haven, it felt like a truly elevated getaway. Would absolutely sail again--especially if another Haven deal pops up. Bon Voyage
