Today I stumbled upon this blog. Lots of useful information so far. It's a day-by-day about being on the Empress and going to Cuba,

Matt just did a podcast with someone who was on the first cruise the Cuba. Lots of good advice.

Thank you for this link! This was great information!!!

I would recommend a Jet Ski adventure if available. There's nothing like Jets Skis in the Bahamas, it's an action packed adventure and the water is crystal clear. When we did ours you could look down and see fish and sting rays. It was magical! Plus you'll get to see some prettier parts of the island away from the port. So much fun! Would 100% do it again! 

Hello Everyone,

So I'll be sailing in June for one of the Cuba cruises on the Empress and I wanted to see if anyone else has came back and has any advice or tips for when we get to the island.

I'm very excited to know more about the shore excursions and hopefully we can get some reviews on those. If you've visited renectly, please let us know what you thought. We are planing the 4 hour walking tour so we can get some great photos hopefully.

Sorry if this is a duplicate thread, I wasn't able to fine one similar. 

Thanks in advance!
