  1. Arrive in Cuba around 4 PM would like to get off ship and just walk around. Is this doable? If so looking for suggestion on what to do and where to go? Also have a tour scheduled the next day so will visa be good for both?

  2. Going to Cuba in July and want to buy cigars for friends and relatives. Can anyone comment on what the price of a good cigar should or will cost me? Are there counterfeit cigars that i should be aware of? My Uncle has ask for a sweet Cuban cigar can anyone make a suggestion on a good brand? As evidence by my questions i don't know much about cigars so any info would be greatly appreciated..  Thanks. 

  3. We were told the Empress only offers the traditional dinning (early/late) no MTD. So how/who do we contact to get our group (3 couples or 6 people) assigned to a table for 6? I know you can go to the main dinning area after boarding but we would really like to do this before boarding to ensure we get an assigned table with a reasonable location. Side question why doesn't Empress offer MTD?????

    Seaside was very good. We were in a Yacht Club cabin and enjoyed the experience, was our first time trying the Yacht Club. The private dining room was great with many higher end offerings. The pool grill had prime rib, lamb chops, lobster, filet mignon, shrimp, etc, grilled for lunch. Free drinks, gelato, etc. ship wide.......Interior cabin was tight, but doable with storage. Great private lounge at the front with panoramic views.

    We did "snoop" the buffets to compare the items available. We tried to compare the MDR menus with the YC, but we could not find where the dinner menus were posted like RCI does daily. The rest of the ship was very nice , but the UBER MODERN decor was not particularly my cup of tea.

  5. Boarding was very simple and quick. Once aboard able to get a quick drink at the pool bar. Lunch in the compass deli very easy while we had to wait awhile for a pizza at Sorrento's. Rooms where open right at 1. We attempted to get MTD while waiting for the rooms. Told it was no available. First time ever that as a suite guests RCCI didn't accommodate a request, first time ever!!!!! But then again Majesty doesn't have Concierge Service?? Bags arrived while we were at the mandatory drill. Then off to complimentary happy hour in the Viking Crown (VC a great place to hang out and have a drink) but the staff wasn't friendly and that continued during the complete cruise. Again not like other cruises. Hor'Drovers just ok.... Our suite 1520 other than being directly under the Windjammer was nice. But the Windjammer noise was all night to include the early morning hours. Very disappointing to pay suite prices for such a noisy suite... Cococay day 3 have a Cabana booked and the week prior we had received a call that RCCI that they were moving the Cabana's to a nicer beach and that we would be very pleased... sounded great. Got there and found our assigned cabana hadn't been moved, meaning no service in that area.(bar, food, etc...) That is part is what we where paying for? Asked to be moved to the other area again told we couldn't. SECOND time ever request not accommodated!!!! Question we booked the Cabana a good month prior to the cruise and had prepaid and then being a suite guest assumed we would be getting a priority on assignment of the Cabanas. Guess not.. Dinning service and service personnel was outstand. No issues at all. Now after being awake since 4 AM because of the Windjammer noise we are ready for  departure and go to the suite designated area as advised. We wait, wait, wait but not a RCCI person shows up so we left. The crew when we asked for assistance keep saying wait for the announcements/// PS we received a note or letter from a "Suite Coordinator" but we never saw, talked to connected with this so called person during our cruise.. Bottom line this might have been an outstand experience if we hadn't paid for this cruise and expected to travel like an  Owner Suite level guest like all the other RCCI cruise we have been on....................
