Review summary

I will never cruise RCI again, nor will I cruise out of San Juan. We were totally appalled by American Airlines. We had a major delay on both ends of our journey and thought we would be stranded in Philly on the way there and in Miami coming home.

Have sailed on Adventure of the Seas out of San Juan twice! Loved every minute! We fly Southwest and have never had a problem. Usually stay 2 nights before cruise!

Booked our 7th RC cruise for June, wouldn’t cruise with anyone else. Everyone has their own expectations and opinions of what luxury is.

we always go in the day before and stay the day after our cruises American Airline is not the greatest had a 9 hour layover in Philly last year almost missed the boat that's why we now go in day before and stay a day later and don't fly American

I’ve cruised with RC before and have found these to be the best of the best in terms of demographics and amenities. However I won’t shun them because I absolutely despise United... hmm...
