Loved the cruise and the itinerary was great!! The ports are interesting and San Juan is one of our favorite departure ports. It is right at the old city and extremely well organized.
March 2015 - Celebrity Equinox to Caribbean - Southern
Great cruise on a great ship stopping at great ports! We will be back to the Equinox and hopefully the glass artists will still be in residence. We also look forward to the excellent food and crew.

MJtraveler's Tips
Carnival Liberty - Don't bother getting to the MDR early. The crowd clears within two minutes of the door opening and you won't have to stand around.
Carnival Magic - Remember that Mother nature does things her way. Relax and enjoy what she sends you. We love the "motion of the ocean" so we book high and up front. This was a choppy cruise and some of our neighbors didn't like the movement. Book center and low if motion is an issue.

We are retired and have cruised Carnival many times - this was one of the best ever! The crew was great from stewards (Mochammad and his assistant!) to waiters and chefs to bartenders to Captain. The heart of the cruise, though, though, was the Cruise Director "Dr E!" He loves his passengers, especially the kids, and makes everyone smile as soon as he is around. He is the best I have ever seen on any cruise line. We had over 1000 kids on the cruise and never had an issue. They were kept so busy and entertained we kept hearing them complain to parents they wanted to be in Camp Carnival or the teen clubs with their friends. KUDOS to Carnival for the kids crew!! The Captain had to decide if we could dock in Costa Maya due to high wind and choppy seas. We missed the port, all excursions were credited immediately, and the fabulous crew made sure we had another Fun Day At Sea! We heard no complaints around the ship about the missed port, unlike some other cruises where a port had to be skipped. The food in the MDR was excellent, as was the BBQ and Guy's Burgers. Again, best ever on a cruise! If you want a great cruise with loads of fun, take a cruise on the Magic - it really is Magical.
