Wow this was my first cruise when I was a child in 2008. The ship was called “Costa atlantica” and I remember that Havana sports bar was called “café Florian” where my parents went to drink coffee in the evening, it was inspired by the café Florian in Venice. Now they stripped all the baroque decor but I think the rest of the ship looks better now.
You have to go on this ship then!! If my first cruise ship was still in service I would love to be on it again. MAS Paradise is very similar to it, that is why I like it so much. Going on the Islander next week.
Hey guys! We were on board with you for this sailing. Nice review of the ship! Mr A was awesome for sure. We got a suite upgrade as well. What was your highlight, what needed the most improvement and would you sail again? We’re going back September 15. New sub for ya also #258. Keep the videos coming 👌
I think the highlight was the entertainment, it was pretty good. Food needs improvement the most especially the Steakhouse. They have a lot to improve on for that to charge the extra $$ they do for it. I would sail again on a longer sailing and when kids are back in school. this one had a lot of kids due to the sale they had going on with low price and kids sail free.. But I was really impressed with how they fixed most of the issues they had on the 1st few sailings, even the people who worked at the port said so..
@@yb8657I think so. There were 3 of us booked in a breezy balcony but after we got onboard Mr A and Viscily said they remembered us from the Paradise and then said they had some bigger rooms open we might be more comfortable in.
@@FireandWaterTravel Oh. I suppose I missed the sofa pull out part. Will rewatch. I would have presumed the cabin would have 2 beds. Or is there a price difference for one compared to two beds?
Thank you for this video. You were very informative with ship tour, stateroom, restaurant food, drinks and shows😊
Glad it was helpful!

@@FireandWaterTravel got you there too! I need to learn to cook…I can burn water!
How did you guys get the suite upgrade? It was just randomly?

Nice
Thanks!
Can you explain the Speakeasy that the Islander has? I was told by phone customer rep to inquire at the desk.
it is by invite only.. I was not invited as I had my minor daughter with me...
Why a king bed for you and your daughter?
did you watch the video? We had different beds.. the pull out in the suite was huge and super comfortable.. I am not sure what your questions is...
