I sailed on the May 29th departure of the Fathom 7-Day Cuba Cruise on the Adonia.
Sailing round-trip out of Miami, the Adonia makes alternating 7-day cruises to Cuba and the Dominican Republic. Some guests sail for two weeks to enjoy both unique experiences.
Many people considering a cruise want to know “what’s the day-to-day experience like?” One of the best way to get a feel for that is to review daily programs from a recent cruise. I am posting scans of the daily programs here, but with a major caveat: the May 29th Fathom cruise to Cuba did not follow the standard itinerary. Due to a very brief minor engine/power loss issue, the ship had to return to Miami, and the port schedule was altered.
Still, you can get a sense of what the Fathom Cuba cruise is like, from these programs called “Soundings.”
Cuba Cruise Program, Day 1 (front page)
The “getting to know Cuba” session on day 1 is not to be missed. You learn all of the mechanics of visiting Cuba, with details on changing money to how the tours work.

Note the dining and bar venues, and the hours for each. They are listed on the back page in the upper right hand corner for each day.
Cuba Cruise Program, Day 2 (front page)
NOTE: Day 2 of the Cuba cruise is usually in Havana. On the May 29th sailing, day 2 became an unplanned day at sea. A highlight was the pre-20th century: Cuba history lecture, which provided terrific background on Cuba.

Look for the daily programs for the two days in Havana in a future post.
