Review summary

If you don’t want to take control of your vacation and be on someone else’s schedule then go on a cruise. It’s just not for me. I’m going to go to Puerto Rico for a week and between airfare, hotel and car rental I’ll spend about $1000 less. And do what I want to do. Explore the place. Took about 2 hours to explore the ship.

Get a cabin on deck 12. Quite up there and not congested.

Beautiful place. They locals need to fix the place up a bit. They’re dumping trash on the side of the road and not rebuilding like Puerto Rico has.

It sounds like you were on an older, smaller ship. The bigger o rd have more to do and/or more places just to be alone. For me, cruising is the best way to travel.

Sounds like cruising isn’t for you. Most people love it, but it’s not for everyone. I’ve never felt like I was on a schedule or was required to do anything other than attend the muster drill and depart at a specific time. We choose anytime dining and eat when we are hungry or go to the buffet. If a show looks interesting, we will go, but they usually have 2 performances, so one of the times will work for most people. We book excursions independently and just meet them on the dock. I’ve always found cruising to be the best value of any vacations we have taken, but we don’t spend money on an extras such as specialty dining, alcohol, gambling, shopping, etc.
