I would absolutely NOT stay in an interior with more than 2 people. Our daughter and her 2 friends had an interior on 5 and by the end of the cruise, they were happy to get out of that room! We've done interior on the last 2 cruises to save a little money and to see how we felt about them. The shape of the room on this Havana absolutely made a difference. I won't say never but more than likely our next couple of cruises will not be interior. :) -Melissa

They really do! It's a great way to start your cruise and a reminder that "vacation mode is enabled" :) Enjoy your cruise and thanks for the comment! -B

Hi!! Thanks for watching and commenting! We are in central MS just north of Jackson. That is awesome! Funny you mentioned that bc we have discussed several times moving to Florida for the same reason! -Melissa

Thanks for watching! Hoping things get less stressful for you soon -B

Thanks for watching and commenting. This was our first stay in the Havana area but we have sailed vista and Horizon. You are right , I’m not sure why they redesigned the outside space. I’m happy we didn’t spend the money on one of the balcony/cabana havanas! We spoke with several other guests that did have the cabanas along the back of the ship who had similar thoughts. ~Melissa

Sorry we missed your comment! It was never really congested any time we went out there. It was January though and chilly so that probably made a difference. The pool was freezing. -Melissa

We did the interior and loved it. But yes, I would agree the Havana balcony’s are really cool but there is a privacy issue with people walking by. I will say only people that are also in the Havana area can get in that area, it is restricted. So it’s not open to all guests. Hope that helps! We would book Havana again and probably try a balcony next time just to see what we think. Thanks for watching and commenting! -Melissa

Thanks for watching! You’re going to love it! We were concerned about the noise from the Havana Bar nearby, but the door blocks out almost all of the sound - we had no trouble with the bar sounds. There was, however, a service door near our room that slammed quite often, but that also stopped after midnight or so. -B

The Havana area is exclusive to those in Havana rooms. To get into the outdoor Havana area, you have to not only have a wristband, but the card-reader checks to see that you're in a Havana stateroom. We liked having a less-crowded outdoor area, bar and pool. It would have been nice if the area also had a hot tub like the Vista class does, but it was still a fun experience. The Havana pool kind of hangs off of the starboard side of the ship. So, depending of the direction the ship is headed and the time of day, the pool will be in the shade. On our sailing, I can confirm the pool was COLD. We really enjoyed the view from the pool though due to its position. Thanks for your comment :) -B

Thanks for watching! We had no trouble with the Havana outside areas at all! There was plenty of room and the bar and pool felt very exclusive. It was a bit cool outside on our cruise though -B

I feel like the square footage (see what I did there? ha!) is about the same in the square-shaped rooms vs regular rooms. It looks like most of them are shaped that way to accommodate the change in width of the ship itself at that point. There are some (deck 15 for example), that back up to the elevators - those seem like they'd be noisy. -B
