Review summary

I had the most amazing vacation! I’ve been all around the world and this trip still sticks out to me as “I had the time of my life” (I am writing this review a couple years late) I remember the ship food was amazing, the buffet was awesome! Water park was a great way to cool off. My only con was how much the boat rocked, maybe it was just rough water during my trip.

Cabin / Stateroom

5 out of 5

We had an ocean view cabin and it was pretty nice. Of course it is a bit outdated but it has everything that you need!

Ship tip

Bring motion sickness medicine! This boat is not large and I don’t think it has the technology like newer ships have to stabilize itself.

San Juan is probably in my top 5 of favorite places in the world! The people, scenery, food, culture and history is amazing!

Wow such a lush island! We went on an ATV excursion and it was a blast! We saw banana farms and got to see incredible views of the island at the top of a hill. We road through rivers and had an amazing time. I hope I get to go back someday so I can see the Tetons, it was raining as we departed and I never did catch a glimpse :(
