Review summary

This was a cruise to new destinations out of San Juan and we decided on because we had never been to most of the islands. Easy transfer from the airport to the ship and no problem going on board and immediately finding something to eat! We had a balcony room, which I recommend, and had a great view of the islands each day. Each morning we had room service bring us "breakfast in bed." The food in the Lincoln Dining Room was great and we have no complaints on the service. ONLY negative comment we have was that the ship was showing some wear and age, after all, it is over 10 years old now and had lots of passengers. Shows were good, but the best was the first show. Still too much smoking going on in the casino, so when you passed by, you have to walk fast or hold your breath. Great cruise and sad to see it come to an end.

The cruise lines really need to do something about the smell of smoke on ships.  Better ventilation????
