Review summary

Things were amazing with covid they were really on it

Embarkation

5 out of 5
Embarkation was very well - we flew in morning of leaving from Hartford Connecticut at 6am arriving at 9am. After getting our luggage from MCO we went downstairs and used “GoPort” it was cheap one way 50$ for 2 people and round trip 100$ only really why we didn’t do round trip was because we hard a early flight.

Who doesn’t love being on vacation it was my 2nd time here last time in 2016. We also didn’t book an excursion with carnival for this island they sold out but soon as you leave off boat there are ppl in green shirts as well and we took a bus with other passengers from carnival sunshine and the madi for 8$ per person there 5$ each person to get in beach anyone 12 and under are free for Megan bay beach and then 8$ each person back. If was a good vibe you have to pay for chairs umbrella everything much different then when we went to Nassau Bahamas replaced for grand Turks

San Juan, Puerto Rico

5 out of 5
It was home for me I did a 2 hour tour for 25$ yes ! Very cheap when you get off the boat there are ppl standing with green shirts. So instead of paying all that money on carnival you can enjoy the old San Juan the new part and got taken to the beach in a tour bus with about 15 other passengers and got 15-20 min at every stop to take pics

Port Canaveral, Florida
