Review summary

Enjoyed exploring the ship. Food was decent. No need to pay for other restaurants. Plenty of entertainment and venues for general drinks. The shows were entertaining, saw Mamma Mia, while not my favorite show it was performed well. The comedians were great and game shows fun. Definitely do the Quest.

We did the walking food tour of San Juan. While it was mainly contained to walking near the port area, we did visit a couple of nice cafes, sites etc, the historical tutorial from our guide was informative. Could of had better mofongo elsewhere but the experience was nice with such short port time.

So much to do and explore here. Keep waking. Don’t stop at the first beach. There’s much to explore. For kids and adults. My negative: the locals. While I do understand they are trying to make a living but they are very demanding and block you, corral you into a corner. As a songle female it was a bit unnerving but I didn’t feel threatened just they invaded my space and it was a turnoff. Don’t let kids go alone shopping for local wares.

Very easy. We walked off with no issues. Had a van(preplanned) waiting for us right outside to go to airport. No disruption
