Ship experiences

Dining room was excellent, except for the first night. The food in the Tiffany (buffet) dining room was marginal.

Entertainment

The dancers were excellent (and I hate dancing!)

We never saw our teenage boys during the day....they always were at some activity.

Great first port of call. Basically just a beach, but great swimming.

Grand Turk Island

5 out of 5
The reefs off of Grand Turk were absolutely outstanding for snorkeling.
Thumbs Up

San Juan, Puerto Rico

3 out of 5
We took the free trolley up to one fort, walked over to the other fort, and then made our way down the hill, through the shopping of old San Juan and back to the ship.
Thumbs Up
Don't Miss: Kite flying at the fort....I have never seen kites so high!!

Pros: Wonderful ports for snorkeling and family beach activities.
