[marcyjane]

Has anyone that went on NCL taken this tour? If so did it go to the square where they have the cannon ceremony?. Thanks

We did this tour in June. One of the worst tours ever. It stays in Havana Vieja; the cannon ceremony is at the fort across the harbor. There were 3 or 4 groups doing the same tour at the same time. Each group was about 40 people with one guide. Couldn't get close enough to hear anything, so I concentrated on taking photos. There were two additional stops - one for a mojito at a local bar and one at Sloppy Joe's for a "sloppy Joe" and drink. At each of these, more than one tour group showed up, causing severely crowded conditions. By the way, skip the mojitos. The water and ice in Havana are contaminated. We paid for our mojito for the next couple of days. Judging from "evidence", we weren't the only ones on the ship with this problem. Also, the "Sloppy Joe" was pitiful. Some browned meat on a bun. No flavor.

On the other hand, the Art tour was fantastic.
