Review summary

Everything about this cruise easy easy. Only trouble was the airport on the return flight. Give extra time. San Juan Airport security is one of the worst I have ever encountered. I have flown a lot so that’s saying something.

Embarkation

5 out of 5
Sailing from San Juan was so much friendlier

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

5 out of 5
Seated dining experience was excellent as always. Windjammer food was great—can get pretty crowded on a ship this size.

Onboard Activities

5 out of 5
Used the fitness center, climbing wall, mini golf, basketball, ice skating, arcade.

Entertainment

5 out of 5
Stage shows are outstanding

Children's Programs

No longer have kids small enough

Service and Staff

5 out of 5
All always great.

Ship Quality

4 out of 5
Always good & clean. Dining is at the extreme opposite end from the theater so it was a little tougher on a couple in our party with mobility issues.

Cabin / Stateroom

5 out of 5
This is a very nice, large room. We had six in it (concerted sofa into a double). Younger two enjoyed their little bunk bed alcove. Awesome view from this room directly out the front of the ship.

Ship tip

Eat early at the windjammer. It can get insane during peak times.

Ports of call

San Juan, Puerto Rico Did not visit port

You must go to Old San Juan & see the forts.
