Excellent variety of food throughout the day; however try to get a late dining time because 1st sitting can be too early and makes you in a hurry to get back to ship.

San Juan, Puerto Rico

5 out of 5
Old San Juan is an interesting old and interesting city. People are very friendly.

Grand Turk Island

5 out of 5
Sign up for tours early because they fill up very fast and there is not much else to do except go to the beach or hang out at the pool.
Don't Miss: Ocean tour - Island not very big so take advantage of the ocean

Half Moon Cay, Bahamas (Private Island)

3 out of 5
not too much time spent on the Island and had to leave early because it started to rain.

Pros: fun and relaxing

Cons: early dining
